	Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though "Jesus, Etc." and elements of other songs (in addition to the album cover itself) are sometimes thought to have been created in memory of the September 11th attacks, the entire album was completed before the attacks; September 11, 2001 was in fact the original intended release date for the album.
		The album features recordings from numbers stations, and is named after one of them: a looped recording at the end of the song "Poor Places" of a mysterious female voice reciting "yankee hotel foxtrot" over and over.
		The album's label, Irdial, sued Wilco for copyright infringement; the lawsuit was eventually settled with Irdial receiving some undisclosed royalties for the song [1].

	Learn to dance Foxtrot with Ballroomdancers.com!
		Foxtrot is a smooth progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor.
		The popularity of the dance stemmed from its overall versatility and rhythmic variation (Foxtrot is noted for being the first dance to introduce the "Slow" count, before which time the popular dances such as the Waltz and the One-Step had only a single-count rhythm).
		Foxtrot is extremely versatile and can be danced to a variety of musical styles and tempi.

	Wilco : Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		In early 2001, the Chicago-area band focused on recording their fourth album, which ultimately led to the departure of guitarist Jay Bennett and tensions with their record label.
		The turmoil surrounding the recording and distribution of the album in no way diminishes the sheer quality of the genre-spanning pop songs written by frontman Jeff Tweedy and his bandmates.
		The true high points of the album are when the songwriting is at its most introspective, as it is during the heartwrenching "Ashes of American Flags," which takes on an eerie poignancy in the wake of the attacks at the World Trade Center.

		By the end of the album, Tweedy is pledging himself with confidence ("I've got reservations/About so many things/But not about you"), his voice afloat in a shimmering pool of strings, keyboards and bowed cymbal.
		This album's title comes from the phonetic alphabet used in military communication and shortwave transmission; in "Poor Places," a woman's voice repeats the phrase "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" like an SOS, through a whiteout of guitar distortion.
		The fourth Cornershop album disproves the old groan about how, as the world gets smaller, the music turns uniform: that we are many people making one pop.

	Wilco Album Reviews
		This album is already as famous (or infamous) for the music business politics the band had to endure in order to get it released as it is for its music.
		Rather than redo an album that they were very satisfied with, the band got out of their recording contract, streamed the album on the Internet, and became part of an intense bidding war due to the "story" the album had become and the rave reviews posted on Internet message boards.
		However, I for one enjoy every song on this album, and beyond that this is clearly one of those albums that adds up to more than the sum of its impressive individual parts (witness the cool transition from the ultra-serious "Ashes of American Flags" to the lightly nostalgic "Heavy Metal Drummer," for example).

	Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The brooding introspection of Summerteeth made for a handful of elegant lyrics, most notably the skeletal beauty of "She's a Jar," where "she begs me not to miss her" returns as the stinging "she begs me not to hit her," transforming a wistful love song into something gently bruising.
		The final declaration on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is one of abiding dedication: "I've got reservations 'bout so many things but not about you." There isn't a truer word to be had.
		Beneath the great story of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, there are all the tropes and symbols and coincidences of a little mythology; but under that is a fantastic rock record.

		Completed in May of 2003, it was rejected by her label, Epic Records, on the grounds that the songs weren't sufficiently commercial to justify the expense of their release.
		After Apple failed in her attempt to write a more salable single, the album was mothballed—destined to be mythologized by devoted fans but otherwise forgotten and unmissed.
		Wilco's album was likewise rejected by its label, Reprise/Warner, and the band was dropped.

	Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - PopMatters Music Review
		We are republishing it in the wake of the release of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on Nonesuch Records in the US on 23 April 2002 and in the UK on 22 April 2002.
		On one level, it is a lush pop album, though notes of dissonance (e.g., static, beeps, feedback) constantly intrude, interrupting and complicating the pop sound; on another, it is an exploration of the barriers to communication.
		With Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, they have certainly done that, moving beyond the corporate structure (a career-ending move ten years ago) to create an album that is very much alive, exploring the boundaries of popular music and the complex nature of communication.

		The masterpiece of the album has to be 'Jesus Etc.', with plaintive violins holding the minimal arrangement together while Tweedy delivers possibly his most affecting (and effective) vocal performance yet.
		Throughout the album, Jeff Tweedy's voice sounds as heartbroken and forlorn as ever, and the creative musicianship and imagination are every bit as good as you'd expect from a band boasting Tweedy and co-writer Jay Bennett (who has since left to pursue a solo career).
		This is a great album, not the end of a certain Wilco but the evolution of a sound into brave, new and exciting new possibilities.

	+++ neumu [ the drama you've been craving ]
		The album is good, and the world now sees him as a very different kind of artist than they did before.
		I must add that, because of all the drama surrounding the official album — record company politics that found one AOL Time Warner label dropping the band while another signed them up — my initial experience of the album was a letdown.
		It's hard to generalize, but a lot of this album seems to be lamenting a romance that didn't work out; beyond that, Tweedy seems to be catching the disillusionment that many feel now — both disillusionment and nostalgia for a past that we likely recall via romanticized memories ("Heavy Metal Drummer").

		Known for his idiosyncratic tastes, and regarded as something as an expert on modern experimental music he has released albums of jazz, electronica, noise and guitar rock music.
		He mixed Wilco's very successful Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album, which made many reviewers' top ten lists for 2002, and was hired by the band to co-produce their 2004 album, A Ghost is Born.
		O'Rourke has released a large number of albums and was once a member of Gastr Del Sol with songwriter David Grubbs.

		I found it quite amazing to learn that the shortwave radio effects used on the album are actual broadcasts of CIA and other intelligence agencies coded messages.
		Two years ago the group released an album with a song called "Poor Places." It starts as a droopy ballad, but eventually the drums fade, the melody evaporates, and up roars a truly terrifying hurricane of sound.
		The Strokes' second album, "Room on Fire," is just a rehash of their first.

	village voice > music > Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Christian Hoard
		The story of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is itself a would-be heartbreaker—"would-be" not only because the album is finally being released this month on Nonesuch but also because by now the story has been repeated so often it's turned into a minor alt-rock myth.
		Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is basically a good album, even a great album if you're in the mood, though if you listen to a lot of hip-hop (or house music or basement bhangra or any other genre not dominated by white people), it probably won't be the most extraordinary album you'll hear all month.
		YHF sounds pretty inviting for an album that's led more than one Net writer to call Wilco the "American Radiohead." Even when they're bathed in quasi-psychedelia or bogged down by hooded-sweatshirt insularity, Tweedy's songs are melodic, warm, earnest.

		When Wilco, the once alternative-country turned intelligent pop band, turned in their fourth album to their once artist friendly record label, Warner Brothers, the Bunny execs refused to release the album.
		When Warner Brothers said no way to releasing Wilco's fourth album, Wilco hit the highway, and took their album with them.
		For such a sparse-sounding album, there is a cinematic depth to the musicality on this album.

		Masics' signature sonic eccentricities dominate what could be considered a solo album (drummer Murph only appears on three tracks), with its blistering guitar noise, lackadaisical vocals, and punk-influenced outsider anthems.
		A Ghost Is Born, an appropriate title for an album that, like a ghost, sounds like a returning or haunting memory or image.
		The album's languid alt-country meets folk-pop nature calls to mind the first solo outing of Paul McCartney, while the driving pulse of "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" sounds directly lifted from Krautrock pioneers Can.

	WILCO-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
		When the album was finally released, it was met with universal critical acclaim and, to add a delicious bit of irony, has gone on to be the most commercially successful Wilco album yet.
		In light of the album’s fascinating back story and its less-than-positive depiction of the music industry, it would be tempting to give the music on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot more credit than it is actually due.
		The album ends on an optimistic note with “Reservations,” in which Tweedy discovers that romantic fulfillment is still possible, even if it seems at times that the universe is conspiring against us.

	BBC - Folk & Country Review - Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
		Yankee Hotel Foxtrot will undoubtedly fox (sorry) even regular listeners on first listen, but repeated plays show it to be a veritable chinese puzzle: multi-faceted and knowing no recognisable boundaries.
		What Wilco realise is that this is all acceptable currency to the global audience and, while retaining a sense of melodic stability is as key to their formula as anything else, they need never aplogise for their increasingly eclectic approach.
		I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile, and this is one album that I can't stop listening to.

		Well, on June 8, the answer arrives in the form of Wilco’s fifth album, A Ghost is Born, and, thankfully, it is a resounding “yes.” A Ghost is Born is what Wilco fans needed to follow up Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
		A Ghost is Born morphs the sound into the perfect album for the summertime.
		A Ghost is Born is destined to become a classic on the level of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and is only further proof that Wilco is one of the most innovative and best bands around today.

	GENESIS Foxtrot reviews and MP3
		The album starts with the powerful "Watcher of the Skies," and there is a sense of power and majesty in Tony Banks' opening mellotron and "church" organ lines that sets the tone for the superb material that lies ahead.
		When this album was released, Genesis was at their peak, from that moment they started to loose the mystery and dark atmosphere that was their trade mark, of course SEBTP, The Lamb and W&W are masterpieces, Genesis wasn't the same for me after this album.
		— 'Foxtrot' was the album that at last made Genesis big, and with good reason, as it was their most cohesive and polished album up to this point.

	Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco CD
		Far too much attention has been focused on this album's tortured history; band makes weird album, label rejects it, band buys it back and puts it out a year later through another arm of the same corporation.
		For the record, wildly overexcited Radiohead comparisons aside, the album's not that weird--it merely ventures a bit further down the sonic-shambles roads explored on the band's previous two releases.
		Nevertheless, beneath the layers of warped keyboards and slow-death guitars, Wilco mastermind Jeff Tweedy has loaded the album with catchy (yes, catchy) tunes that mix the pure power-pop of mid-period Beach Boys and the aforementioned Big Star with the rootsy background of Tweedy's former group Uncle Tupelo and an unmistakable streak of singer-songwriter melancholy.
