	Kaada: Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time - PopMatters Music Review
		Kaada's album, called Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time, is a highly confounding piece of work, one that's capable of moving a person to tears one moment, and royally creeping a person out the next.
		Kaada is apparently quite popular over there in his Nordic homeland (the album was originally released there in 2001), and depending on your reaction to this album, the collective taste of Norwegians will seem either very impressive, or highly disturbing.
		Kaada's choice of songs, namely obscure pop gems from the late '50s and early '60s, and his bare-bones accompaniment, has somewhat of a David Lynchian quality, one that evokes warm thoughts, but also gives you the feeling that there's some pretty nasty business happening beneath the surface.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Kaada & Patton: Romances
		By utilizing Patton's voice solely as another instrument, Kaada has kept his bleak sonic palette relatively uncluttered; he never foists opinion or circumstance upon his listeners, instead forcing them to forge their own paths through the darkness.
		Though he's not the marquee draw here, Kaada's spectral vision of unrealized societies and jagged moon craters forms the bedrock upon which Patton adds his flights of vocal fancy, sounding at once like a wounded sparrow, a malfunctioning arpeggiator and the living embodiment of John Philip Sousa's sourest dreams.
		Kaada is the creator, Patton is the decorator, and together, they've fashioned a gruesomely beautiful universe that misfits, milky-eyeds and malcontents alike would be proud to call home.

		Kaada found that distant, low-frequency TNS (2Hz) improved microcirculation in ischemic limbs of patients with Raynaud's phenomenon and diabetic neuropathy and to accelerate healing of chronic skin ulcerations.
		Kaada felt that the improved microcirculation of the skin was most likely caused by a sympatho-inhibition effectuated through a central serotoninergic link, since the response was blocked by the serotonin blocker cyproheptadine.
		Kaada felt that the improved microcirculation resulting from the electrical stimulation was probably due to:

		True, Kaada flirts with many genres in a humorous way, but he does so without ever losing control, keeping the stylistic rhythm and samples expressive and fresh, soulful and true.
		And the 'him' that is Kaada is a very talented and highly regarded artist.
		Kaada has also written many film scores for which he was awarded the Golden Clapboard at the Norwegian International Film Festival, the youngest one to have ever earned this award.

	KAADA/PATTON, "Romances" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		More than a few of you may be crying yourselves to sleep at night clutching your faithful copies of "Disco Volante," cursing Mike Patton for dissolving the band who brought you the soundtrack to your wicked youth.
		Kaada, still burning hot off the critical acclaim awarded his 2003 debut album, "Thank You for Giving Me Your Valuable Time," astounds here, pushing his art beyond the SP1200 to incorporate a bevy of live instruments (steel guitar, drums and bass clarinet) into his already dense groove theory.
		Meanwhile Patton, last heard in a dream alliance with Bjork on her new "Medulla" album, hasn't sounded this smooth since Lovage, proving once again why he is one of the most crucial crooners in modern music.

		John Kaada, the Norwegian genius of sampling and varied taste, first hit the U.S. music scene with his first solo release in 2001.
		Kaada's influences are nearly impossible to pinpoint when listening to his record.

	Plan 9's Nine Times
		The debut release from Kaada, who hails from Sweden and is a Norwegian Grammy nominee, is going to drastically change the way dance parties and clubs operate the minute it reaches the right person's hands.
		Kaada takes things down a notch and allows everyone to catch their breath with "Burden," a slower and more soulful tune.
		Future party hosts may simply be able to throw on a Kaada album and "get the party started." As this is only thirty-nine minutes long, you might not want to withdraw your DJ invitation yet, but be warned; Kaada is coming.

		Kaada employs the vaguely eastern European dark and primal romanticism that was present at times on his most recent solo album, but in a much darker and flamboyant manner.
		As hinted above, Kaada utilizes snippets from songs spanning from the 50s to the 70s, with a special affinity for doo-wop; and where most sample based music fails by coming across as sarcastic and empty, this, like Prefuse’s One Word Extinguisher, sounds sincere and soulful.
		And thank you, Kaada, for making what may well be the best album I’ve heard so far in 2003.

	CMJ.com: new music first (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Along with Norwegian composer John Kaada, he’s created this “seductive” album that is a decidedly more sinister kiss—think vampires in velvet capes as opposed to a candlelit dinner.
		Much of the credit goes to Kaada, who follows up his mind-bending samplicious 2003 debut masterpiece with an even more twisted take on hillbilly harmonicas, cartoon sound effects and sultry orchestration.
		With Kaada willing to drop the funk every now and then, and Patton apparently going so far as to sing what sounds like the chorus to Simon And Garfunkel’s “The Boxer,” the album is hard to ignore and demands closer inspection with headphones.

	Soundwaves: Norah Jones, Erlend Oye, Jay Jay Johanson, Kaada: Metro Weekly magazine: New music / CD reviews: Washington ...
		John Erik Kaada was formerly known for his role in a pioneering jazz band; one Norwegian newspaper called him a “jazz terrorist.” Though as a solo artist he’s moved on to electronic instruments, you can hear his avant-garde jazz influence, as well as his classical music training.
		Kaada works with no apparent organizing theme, other than serving us a pop pastiche of styles from yesterday, today and -- maybe -- tomorrow.
		Kaada’s whimsical, no-stone-unturned approach to pop music-making is noisy and reckless on occasion, but even then the sound is fun and exciting.

		Kaada focussed on his solo career, while the rhythm section found itself in demand as sought after freelancers.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Romances (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Both artists' work reveals a love of cinematic music: Kaada is an award-winning film music composer in his native Norway, and Patton has paid homage to great horror scores on FantÃ´mas' Director's Cut.
		Kaada's part of the collaboration shows up in Romances' lush, playful sound and eclectic influences: "L'Absent," in another incarnation, could be a jaunty French folk melody, while "Viens, Les Gazons Sont Verts" mixes spaghetti western theme music with exotica.
		The album is immensely entertaining, not just for Patton and Kaada fans, but for anyone looking for a soundtrack to their own romantically macabre thoughts.

		Referencing fifties and sixties sci-fi sound effects, Kaada and Patton fill up the aural palette with sounds we haven't heard since John Cage was preparing pianos for unprepared audiences everywhere.

		For five years John Erik Kaada has developed the solid reputation of being a “jazz terrorist” in the Norwegian music scene.
		What’s surprising is Kaada’s ability to seamlessly arrange doo-wop samples and jungle beats with standard instrumentation (vocal, guitar, drums).
		It’s as if Kaada noticed the world's shortening attention span and in turn decided to take a 1950s dinner, chop the fat off, and serve it in little bite-sized, reconfigured pieces.

	Kaada: Thank You for Giving Me Your Valuable Time: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Be they the disembodied voices of discarded Lou Rawls prototypes, the lost Juanita Rogers, or Brenda Lee's li'l sister, Kaada fidgets and squirms a lot while putting all these samples in a row, grafting them onto some doo-woppy pop art with a palpable Pixie Stix 'n' Pepsi sugar high.
		As queerly enticing is the klezmer clarinet, chord organ, and choppy guitars of "All Wrong", which drops a fetching Bee Brothers snippet in with samples of Kaada's previous group, Chloroform All-Scars.
		The disc is hit-or-miss to be sure, and all told, we find Kaada somewhat insincere despite his best-crooned efforts at the hard sale of wackiness, and a bit too eager to please.

	Kaada / Patton - Romances - Stylus Magazine
		But if you should ever get a gonorritic Wednesday Addams back to your place and need some tunes to soundtrack unpicking her stitches, then this is the record.
		Here, and in his solo work, Kaada uses traditional (even folky) instrumentation in ways beyond mere sampling and placement in unusual contexts.
		Kaada takes melody, however, and twists it ever so slightly into a sort of cinematic freak show.

	Kaada: Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time Aversion.com Review
		In fact, he’s been making waves in his homeland of Norway for a couple years (this platter was originally released in 2001, though never found a Stateside home until now) and showing that, no matter how strange your influences are, if your heart’s in the right spot, you’ll make good.
		Kaada’s, who’s as much a hip-hop-styled producer as a songwriter, drags out classic R&B and soul influences and gussies them up with indie-rock experimentalism.
		Kaada’s experimental streak isn’t as wide as, say, Japanese weirdness rockers, but he’s still stranger than your average knob-twiddler.

		While it’s hard to discern how much Kaada contributed as a composer, his fingerprints are all over the lush, continental instrumentation.
		Even more impressive is Kaada’s work behind the board, creating an ear-candied mix of such depth, nuance, and clarity.
		Without visuals to match the sonic scenes Kaada and Patton conjure, precious little of the album clings long to memory.

	Kaada/Patton: Romances Aversion.com Review
		Lesser known would be the person that he takes second billing to on Romances, the Scandinavian composer John Kaada, who, though little known in the United States, clearly possesses the talent necessary to challenge Patton’s mettle.
		Swelling with grandiose bluster one minute and crumbling into fragile, tinkling melodies the next, Kaada’s richly atmospheric soundtrack immediately calls to mind some of Brian Eno’s groundbreaking work with David Bowie on 1997’s masterful Low.
		Kaada and Patton list classical composers like Brahms and Chopin as inspirations, but Romances sounds far more modern and bizarre, with analog instruments mixed on top of synthesizers and clanking percussion layered alongside piercing bursts of otherworldly theremin.

		In actuality, Kaada samples mostly beats; he has vocalists, drummers, bassists, and guitarists helping him out on everything else.
		Kaada still manages to make Thank You for Giving Me Your Valuable Time worth listening to, however.
		Mixing genres from doo-wop to soul to funk in such a way it seems effortless, Kaada ends up with an interesting trip-hop album that is still catchy as hell.

		And Kaada's score, except when the electronics belch and the junky percussion clangs and the keys obliviously crescendo, is all lush Spector-al ambience.
		Dense, swirling psychedlia that spans the gap from Jethro Tull to modern rock.

	Bettawreckonize -- Album Reviews
		Though I admit to owning two Ace of Base records (because, well, two of them are kinda hot, and the records are really good for pissing off your friends), I can't claim to actually "like" any of it.
		Thank You for Giving Me Your Valuable Time seems somewhat out of place on a label known better for acts like Fantomas, Ruins, and The Melvins, until you remember that Mike Patton is half of Ipecac, and he's the same perverse character that once released a sugary cover of The Commodores' "Easy".
		Kaada is not bad, and his work is fairly original, but it's plagued by apathy.

		Community Radio have been infatuated with KAADA for a couple of months (3PBS Album Of The Week, 4ZZZ, 3RRR, 3D Radio Adelaide) and the album has been championed by quite a few announcers at Triple J previously.
		Now TRIPLE J have added a KAADA "packet" - which means a selection tracks from the album are added to regular rotation, these tracks include "Care" and "Black California".
