	Appleseed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Appleseed is a manga by Masamune Shirow which, like much of his work, merges elements of the cyberpunk and mecha genres with a heavy dosage of politics, political intrigue, philosophy, and sociology.
		Appleseed Hypernotes was released in 1996 as a collected volume in Japan.
		Appleseed was also the inspiration for two anime adaptations, the first an OVA released in 1988 and directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama, the second a CGI movie released in 2004 and directed by Shinji Aramaki.

	Delusions of Adequacy Reviews - Appleseed Cast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The Appleseed Cast are quite an impressive band, and their history reflects this notion quite clearly.
		The Appleseed Cast evolved from a band unsure of their abilities and sound on their first album into one that has tremendous ability and confidence on their second.
		The Appleseed Cast's first album, End of the Ring Wars, was a modern epic of post-hardcore, emo rock, off-kilter, dark, and sometimes obtruse but always perfect.

		The album’s 14 tracks do not divide the album up into abrupt fragments like so many other albums, but rather the tracks act merely as road signs guiding the listener through a seamless sonic journey.
		The Appleseed Cast is notorious for using a lot of delay and other such effects, which can cause the guitar tracks to sound muddy.
		The Appleseed Cast have grown since their days of longing to a band that is confident in themselves as people and as musicians.

	Jesusfreakhideout.com: Appleseed Cast, Brandtson, Pop Unknown
		The album starts off with a dark and moody song, “As You wish,” but it is beautiful.
		I have a lot of my friends listening to this album with me. The Album is like a 1000 piece puzzle that your grandmother put together in 49 minutes and 47 seconds.
		This album is such a mix of music and lyrics.

		The band also has plans to record a new album in the spring, even with "Two Conversations", their latest effort and first release with Tiger Style Records, only having been available for two months.
		Most of the albums we've written start out with four or five songs with a certain feel, and then (we) start putting together ideas for the lyrics from that.
		In February, The Old Canes album is coming out, and from then on it's more or less as much touring as that can take between the two bands.

	The Appleseed Cast- a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		The album's finale "View of a Burning City" leaves listeners in a dreamlike state, urgently desiring the release of Volume 2 in the series.
		This is the kind of album you'll want to listen to alone, late at night with all of the lights turned out...and you can create your own film in your head.
		Indeed, with emo currently being all the rage and the pop/rock landscape veritably swarming with sound-alike artists, the members of the Appleseed Cast have risen to the occasion and created a particularly striking work that is as distinctive as it is grand.

	The Appleseed Cast Fan Page
		Anyone expecting a album similar to Mare Vitalis, may be surprised on first hearing, but the band have clearly evolved and moved forward with the introduction of new instruments and sounds.
		Probably a weaker track on the album, a noticeable lack of instruments and slightly to long to hold the attention it could of got.
		It is a must for any Appleseed fan, or any fan of this style of music, but is a change from the norm from previous albums.

	Appleseed (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Appleseed is an independent release by underground rapper Aesop Rock.
		The first of two self-released albums preceeding his Mush debut "Float," "Appleseed" finds New York's underground hip-hop icon Aesop Rock weaving strong abstract narratives over organic jazz and classically-influenced beats similar to those he would become well-known for employing on later releases.

	Appleseed Cast - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		Appleseed Cast was one of the first bands to come along before emo was popular and to give meaning and definition to the genre.
		The album opening song "Hello Dearest Love" starts with a sparse piano instrumental as the sound of guitar amps turning on is heard.
		Without a doubt, Appleseed Cast has released an album that future bands in their genre will be measured against.

	Album Review:The Appleseed Cast-Two Conversations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		There is nothing particularly irritating about this album, in fact it seems to be one of the safest sounding atmospheric rock album releases ever.
		The Appleseed Cast had worked so hard to shed the label of "emo," with the Low Level Owl releases, and then seemingly throw all their creativity and in turn, credibility back to square one.
		The album doesn't piss me off as much as it simply disappoints, with songs that show just enough artistic ability and creativity to pass off as Low Level Owl B-sides or demos.

	Interview with The Appleseed Cast
		We always want to change our sound some degree on each album and we were just trying too hard to, you know, it was like anything different would work.
		That's not true, there has to have some sort of direction to the album because it's like every song is so different from the other ones and there's no continuity and the album is just going to feel thrown together.
		There [are] those points on the album when I'm like, 'I wish the guitars were louder there,' or you know.

	HellCat Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The delightful informality of the album comes from the fact that few, if any of those songs, were worked out before they went into the studio.
		Musically, the album is all over the place, from Clash style punk rock to Jazz, fusion, even a bit of funk creeps in at points.
		This album is the best album I have purchased recently and for quite some time.Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros have heart and having heart is as punk as it gets.This album is more punk then some bands who classify themselves punk...Sweet harmonies,great percussion and musical compassion is spread all over this album.

	purevolume™ \| APPLESEED CAST
		The Appleseed Cast have recorded 26 utterly gorgeous songs spread out over two albums, and the result is utter devotion to the rapture they've created.
		Now with Low Level Owl: Volume I, The Appleseed Cast is taking their sound even further with a record that flows from one song into the next and experiments with new sounds...backward drums and guitar, layers upon layers of backup vocals and guitars, loops and samples.
		The Appleseed Cast have shown a remarkable attention to detail in crafting a record that is both powerful and innovative.

	[No title]
		To me, this album is essentially interesting as a series of sound collages; there are ample dosages of sound samples, electronic drum beats, acoustic guitar, piano, and an array of synthesized sounds (mostly of the vintage persuasion).
		As a rule, the Album Leaf’s only missteps are those songs which are shorter and feel somewhat incomplete, such as “an interview” or “lounge act.” Now that I think about it, this album would be a great soundtrack for an early eighties suspense/thriller film.
		If you like the sound of their new album like I do, you’re not going to be disappointed by “The Long Goodbye.” This song displays the same sense of melodic structure mixed with a liberal sprinkling of dissonance — just enough to keep the lead guitarist interested.

	The Appleseed Cast - Two Conversations - Stylus Magazine
		The hidden secret to the album, however, lay in its quieter moments, the musical passages that gave the listener a break from normal song structures and allowed one to float along.
		Whatever the narrative construct of the album, however, what is clear is the fact that this album is a return to a more pop and focused approach to song writing, especially with the appearance of vocals on every single song here.
		The danger of the album, however beautiful it comes out, is in its adherence to the construct of two conversations.

	Drowned in Sound - Live - The Appleseed Cast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Watching Appleseed Cast perform is like getting stoned on acid without actually taking a hit of acid: the high gets gradually stronger and stronger, reaches a pinnacle, and then you gradually come back down from it.
		Appleseed Cast has a brilliant sound that is 100,000 times greater than their band name.
		Appleseed Cast is the first band since "Archers of Loaf", that I immediately went and bought all their cds after hearing a few of their tracks.

	Kim & Reggie Harris, Steal Away, Rock of Ages, and Simplicity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The second album, Rock of Ages, is a little bit lighter to listen to, moves away from the depressed Negro slave theme of Steal Away, and is a lot more entertaining.
		This album shows how I expect Kim and Reggie might arrange their set list when appearing live; it is on the whole a lot more entertaining.
		Out of their three albums I thought Simplicity was the best, not that there is anything wrong with the other two.

		The Appleseed Cast bust onto the Emo scene in 1998 with their debut album The End of the Ring Wars.
		Not to the sound of the album, but the sheer repetitive drone doesn’t display any great skill apart from that required to write the music.
		If you think this album is good on speakers, you will be floored listening to it through headphones.

	SingSong PR - CD album press reviews - Donovan - Beat Cafe - singer songwriter
		Throughout this album you will be treated to some of the very best Double Bass playing by Danny Thomson, it is little wonder, he is widely regarded as being amongst the very best Double Bass players in the world.
		Donovan's first album for adult listeners in eight years, this finds him exploring a fascinating hinterland of folk and soft smoky jazz.
		The title track is typical of the album's mood, a lovely evocation of smoky, pre-Starbucks coffee-shop ambience, a place where "the music is cool and the chicks are slow/ Poet in a beret as the sax he blow".

	Tim Eriksen new solo release by Tim Eriksen on Appleseed Recordings
		Tim Eriksen is a staggering talent who invigorates the tradition of American music with the fire of The Clash and the intensity of Nick Cave, all without electricity.
		Tim's self-titled, all-acoustic CD draws material and inspiration from the Anne and Frank Warner collection of American folk songs, the early American hymnody of the Sacred Harp, and a host of other historical and personal resources.
		Over a six-record span (most recently 1998's Appleseed release, Spine,) the band's approach evolved from the "folk/noise" of their eponymous 1990 debut to a completely acoustic presentation that lost none of their energy, focus, impact, or genre-spanning international audience of skate-punks and folk fans.

	Oregon Daily Emerald - University of Oregon news and sports - Appleseed Cast pens sad, listenable tunes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The Appleseed Cast must lead very sad lives to make music like that found on their latest album, "Two Conversations." Sadness fills every second of this soft, interesting little album.
		2: Yellow Mercury." The album is a pitch-perfect mix of traditional folk, blues, country, bluegrass, hillbilly and gospel styles, all done with the care of a dedicated group of preservationists.
		Of the album's 23 tracks, 13 list the composer as "traditional." These songs all come from a time in American history just before radio started to take its hold on culture and music became just that much more homogenized.

	TANGMONKEY.COM [ REVIEW: The Appleseed Cast: Two Conversations ]
		For anyone left wondering: the Appleseed Cast formed in 1997 in Lawernce, KS, released a bunch of albums, and are now signed to indie-haven Tiger Style.
		According to the band, Two Conversations is a concept album, with the lyrics and themes split into separate sections: first love, then loss, and finally politics (I admit my description of the concept is a little weak, so please show restraint with your hateful e-mails).
		The album picks up a bit near the end, when the band showcases their ability to change styles and master the studio.

		British folk-rock legend Donovan’s appeal as an icon of Sixties’ idealism and the free-thinking Bohemian and Beat movements that inspired his new Beat Café CD on Appleseed has proved irresistible to old and new fans and to the media.
		The nomination of Paxton's Looking for the Moon CD in the "Best Contemporary Folk Album" category was his second Grammy nod in a distinguished career spanning more than forty years and forty albums.
		These were Appleseed's fourth and fifth Grammy nominations in its eight years of existence, a strong showing for an independent young label.

		The Appleseed Cast, of Lawrence, Kan., has now reminded us of a time in Kansas history when you had to be overwhelmed with bitterness in order to truly rock.
		According to the album's liner notes, a reminiscent listen to those old recordings re-sparked the band's interest in releasing them.
		The ambiguous aesthetic of the Appleseed Cast's music causes this album to be both absorbing and cathartic.

		Low Level Owl Volume 1, The Appleseed Cast’s new release, is the best music the band has ever produced.
		The Appleseed Cast could have easily solved this problem by filling two CD’s worth of songs like Marigold and Patchwork and Forever Longing the Golden Sunsets.
		It is no surprise that Appleseed Cast’s best album occurred while Marc was in the studio.The musical growth of Appleseed Cast is impressive but what is even more impressive is the personal growth the band shows with Low Level Owl.

		The group was shrouded in mystery from the get-go: they released only one picture to the press, conducted one interview and, for some still-unknown reason, never played a show in the state of California with all four members intact.
		But first, massive touring in the album's support was on the plate, with the Juliana Theory sharing stages with many bands and performing at several national festivals.
		Love isn't perfect, but it is a big and blustery album that stands as the best record Juliana Theory has mustered in their first five years.
