| | Various Artists: Keep Left, Vol. 1: A Benefit for David Barsamian and Alternative Radio: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | Keep Left's selection seems to represent-- at least to some extent-- the taste of Barsamian and his AR cohorts Tonya Loendorf and Joe Richey, which evidently tends toward the atmospheric, and away from the rocking. |
 | | However, most of these tracks seem somehow appropriate to AR's oeuvre, whether obviously so (as in the case of Negativland), or because so many of them were recorded or mixed at the respective artist's home, outside of certain spheres of influence. |
 | | Still, there's a lot of good, unavailable stuff on Keep Left, and on the merits of the music alone, it's well worth picking up. |
