		Released at a time when the icon was largely unknown outside his home country, the album offers 16 English translations.
		It is the seamless way the songs on the eponymously titled 311 combine the band's influences into a potent blend of rap, funk, and rock that renders this album a cut above those of their competitors.
		These riff-heavy and radio-ready songs are underscored by a tight drum sound (often with a piccolo snare), the scratching of turntables, and the...

	Soul Coughing Album Reviews
		Irresistible Bliss (Warner Brothers ‘96) Rating: A- After a debut album as original as Ruby Vroom, Irresistible Bliss was bound to seem less impressive to some people, but the songs here are of a similarly high quality, though again it takes some time to fully assimilate them.
		After Irresistible Bliss, Mike Doughty recorded a solo album, Skittish, which wasn't released until 2000 and even then only through his Web site (www.superspecialquestions.com), though it was "officially" released attached to his subsequent EP, Rockity Roll, in 2004 (adding five bonus tracks).
		I don't know why this album wasn't better received when it first appeared, for it's arguably the best of the band's albums, though all 3 are of a comparatively high quality.

		Although their decision to call it quits was unfortunate, they left behind three incredible albums, two of which are among the best albums of the 90s.
		This album, their second, is possibly their best...though it's tough to say.
		Irresistible Bliss features a broader range of styles and sounds; and, while not as groove-oriented, the songs seem to show the band coming into itself.

	Americana UK Reviews - March 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Deadstring Brothers hail from Detroit, home to the sound of loud and lavish rock, and while the debut album from this five piece could hardly be described as fey or wistful, it’s still got a more subdued and layered feel to it than the output of many of their geographical counterparts.
		However this earlier album, released in 1966, is as much a part of his legacy as his later work.
		The album finishes with what was almost an afterthought, a recording of Yoko Ono’s “Have You Seen a Horizon Lately,” apparently recorded by McLean alone himself, but it’s a good sign that the talent and embodiement of what makes up the band is obviously still there.

		Irresistible Bliss was as creative and rich as their previous effort, yet they were still unable to garner the support from the public that they deserved.
		It is one shining star among the fourteen on this album, the eleven on Irresistible Bliss, and the fourteen on Ruby Vroom.
		There are better songs from the band on this album and on their others.

		You may have heard this song at one point in time, or you may have caught the equally catchy song from "El Oso" entitle "Circles." Any way you look at it, "Irresistible Bliss" is a creative and interesting album.
		In fact, it doesn't seem as though the quality of the album decreases as we near the end of this album.
		Great album, but Soul Coughing's first album "Ruby Vroom" and last "El Oso" are equally interesting and are equally diverse.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Coughing Bears: Fracturing the Narrative and Other Misadventures
		Their second album, Irresistible Bliss, released in 1996, lost some of the momentum of Ruby Vroom (primarily because of the large number of bitter love ballads), although Soul Coughing found themselves a few steps closer to fame due mostly to the success of the upbeat, radio-friendly tune, "Super Bon Bon."
		From the opening of the album, it is clear that the beats will be the most prominent and experimental aspect of the album.
		Soul Coughing finally take full advantage of overdubbing techniques they hesitantly used on their two previous albums to push their music into a realm where electronica, funk, distorted double-voiced lyrics, whistles, duck quacks, heavy bass, strings, weird speakers, guitars and classical piano merge into a miraculous synthesis of noise, beats and poetry.

	The Daily Northwestern {04.06.00} (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Their three albums — Ruby Vroom, Irresistible Bliss and El Oso — document travel from philosophical poetry to offbeat electronica.
		The new album occasionally lapses into brief solos by members of the band, and it is in these glimpses of each member that the Pat McGee Band's reputation shows.
		In the past the Arizona emotive rockers have been louder and faster, but this album is a tribute to the band's original slide guitarist, Rainer Ptacek, who died of a brain tumor in 1997.

		It’s 1996 follow-up, Irresistible Bliss caught fire in the disc carousels of dee jays everywhere, but even whilst touring like tireless journeymen, the four fellas of Soul Coughing always kept a hand in other projects.
		Displeased with the results, the band toured, but their hearts and mighty brains were simply not in it and they decided they had become just another rock band, something the four had never been interested in.
		Doughty is working on a solo album and still writing in New York, while Gubay and Steinberg continue to record with Mitch Froom as UV Ray.

	Being There
		Among the album’s many highlights are opening track “Holding Back The Year,” the drum-machine driven “Home,” and “If I Could.” Aside from being a great lyricist, Barlow seems to have a knack for coming up with sing-along melodies that will surely find their way into your head after a few spins of Emoh.
		The album closes with “The Ballad of Daykitty,” a song that recalls the old children’s song “The Cat Came Back.” The song embodies all that is great about Lou Barlow; his knack for melody, witty lyrics, and gentle musical style.
		Most of the album’s fourteen tracks consist of mid-tempo, repetitive beats and breaks that serve as a foundation for lyrics that promise that the pair has the best game in town, but ultimately fail to deliver the goods.

		Moreover, they built a reputation as an excellent live act, thanks to a jazz aesthetic that kept their concert performances fresh and spontaneous (not to mention a liberal policy on fans trading tapes).
		Soul Coughing issued their third album, El Oso ("the bear") in 1998, and received their greatest mainstream exposure with the leadoff single "Circles," a good-sized hit on alternative radio.
		He also played a series of shows behind his solo acoustic album, Skittish, which had been completed in 1995 but never officially released until Doughty decided to circumvent Napster and sell the album from his own website.

		Botti's notes and textures are rich and sophisticated, his phrasing and rhythms reassuring and elegant, and the overall atmosphere created in the CD is very polished, classy, and richly detailed.
		A great album for two lovers to savor over chilled glasses of wine in a romantic setting like a candlelit bubblebath or while making slow passionate love.
		TRACK 1 IRRESISTIBLE BLISS This is such easy listening and played so beautifully that you want to listen to it forever.

		Their new album, Irresistible Bliss, is a great piece of work.
		While listening to the album, you realize your head is nodding up and down and your body is moving to and fro to the beat and rhythms.
		Where that album explored territories that left it feeling a bit disjointed, "Irresistible Bliss" stays tight and focused.

	Elastica Album Reviews
		The album was spearheaded by a handful of excellent singles (“Stutter,” “Line Up,” “Connection,” “Waking Up”), but the album is crammed with first-class tracks, several of which could have been used as singles as well.
		The album’s fourth and last (?) single was “Waking Up,” perhaps the most retro-ish new wave-track on the album, one that takes you back to the heyday of bands such as Magazine and Echo and The Bunnymen.
		However, despite these details, Elastica is still an album that seems to rush by in 20 minutes, thanks to the excellent song sequencing (and 16 songs in 40 minutes isn’t bad either), loads of memorable hooks, melodies, lyrics and (gotta admit it) the irresistible sexiness of Justine Frischmann’s delivery and playing.

		The Darla Records Bliss Out series was created as a venue for uniquely qualified artists who work with more ambience, melody & mood than most to have the opportunity to step off their career path and showcase their epic musical Om.
		All Bliss Out releases are available on 12" vinyl and cd (Orange Cake Mix vinyl is sold out -- subscribers who opt for 12"s will get the CD version of this album instead).
		It is this special combination of sound, mood and style that made MUS a candidate for Darla Records’ ambient Bliss Out series, which offers such uniquely qualified artists the opportunity to showcase their musical Om.

		The quartet hooked up for a show after only one rehearsal, and after realizing their potential a few months later, started playing regularly throughout the city and were soon the buzz of the town.
		Irresistible seems more mature and focused, less artsy and raw, but still full of the funky groove and sublime poetry that is unmistakably Soul Coughing.
		On this second album, the band enlisted the services of renowned producer David Kahne, replacing Tchad Blake, who had produced Ruby Vroom and later returned for El Oso.

	Ruby Vroom Information
		The album's lone guest is Rachel Benbow Murdy, band founder Mike Doughty's ex-girlfriend, who supplies a vocal on "Janine." Doughty had Murdy go out to a payphone in Sheridan Square in New York and improvise a long, meandering song into their answering machine.
		Recorded a year before the Ruby sessions, Doughty and bass player Sebastian Steinberg recorded the tune at the avant-garde jazz club The Knitting Factory during the daytime, when the club was closed, with club soundperson James McLean.
		The album was recorded at Sunset Sound Factory in Hollywood, Blake and Froom's usual haunt--a storage room near the studio's lounge was filled with vintage keyboards and road cases filled with toys--whistles, baby rattles, children's toy xylophones.

		It was a logical progression to take these techniques into a recording studio, which he did under the name Irresistible Force.

		Here Morris has found a new home at the experimental breakbeat/hip hop label Ninja Tune and the album finds him in spellbinding form.

		As renowned for his inventive, wide-casting DJ sets as for his original works under the Irresistible Force name, Morris's influence on the direction of post-rave electronica has been enormous.
		Both albums landed Morris at the forefront of the new ambient movement -- a position he graciously accepted -- and a string of remix work for the likes of Coldcut, the Shamen, Barbarella, Rising High Collective, and Higher Intelligence Agency followed.
		Growing problems with his label, however, would plague Morris into the recording of his second album, with was delayed for two years.

	Review: Soul Coughing, Irresistible Bliss - Stephen Lin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This New York quartet is back with their blend of groove driven drums and upright bass, funky guitar, distinctive vocals, and unusual samples.
		Album opener "Super Bon Bon" goes from one end of the spectrum to another; shake-your-head groove to have-a-seizure rock.
		Bizarre samples found on the album include elephant noises, slowed down voices, clarinet ensembles (???), string sections, and truly unidentifiable sounds.

		So let's tell you about the cool ones and lame ones and then let us be another little voice in your head telling you which shows to hit and the ones to skip.
		Their new album, Irresistible Bliss, has more hip-hop influenced rock and roll than you can shake your ass at.
		Definitely to be added to your bed-time favorites, because it is a good album, but definitely not our idea of a rocking closing band.

		In addition to Soul Coughing's second release, Gabay has tracks on Susan Vega's new album and dance score projects of his own.
		He's carving his rhythmic niche into the anything-goes world of New York drumming, drawing inspiration from "everything I hear on the street," he added.
