  Ectophiles' Guide - Cat Power   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This to me is the most like Moon Pix, and so I would recommend it over What Would The Community Think.
Moon Pix is her best album by far.
I liked her cover of "Satisfaction"--a very different, almost non-recognizable rendition, but overall this is a disappointment, especially considering how much I liked Moon Pix.

Since her signing, Marshall has recorded and released an additional four albums--most of which were awarded a good deal of critical support (excluding an underwhelming cover album released in 2000).
Moon Pix may be Marshall's best effort to date, but still I have hope that she will put together something in the future that will more completely impress me. The album is almost child-like in its innocence, but at the same time she reminds me of mid-1990's Alanis Morissette sans the rage.
I am definitely torn in regards to Moon Pix but find myself leaning toward a recommendation because of Marshall's refreshingly child-like sincerity.

 It s the moon.
The diameter of the Moon (long axis) on one GEOS images I downloaded was about 3 mm (plus or minus 0.5 mm) and the diameter of the Earth was 96 mm (plus or minus 1.0 mm).
Since I calculated earlier that the Earth in the GEOS picture was about 20 degrees across, the Moon would indeed be in the general vicinity of the UFO is in the picture.
The shape of the object was due to the motion of the Moon, which caused trailing, even though the Moon phase was nearly Full, so the actual disk was about circular.

 Matador Records | Cat Power Biography
Recorded by Adam Kasper (Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam), You Are Free is Chan’s first record of original material since 1998’s Moon Pix, and she's at the apex of her talents.
Her last record, Moon Pix, was released in September 1998 and was hailed 'round the world as a paragon of modern songwriting.
Cat Power is constantly bested by people tougher and meaner than she is, she's contantly lied to and betrayed, she's constantly faced with the futility of what she's doing, and yet she keeps moving doggedly forward, and among the greater hopelessness she does bring off some modest- and very satisfying- successes.

 ToxicUniverse.com - Cat Power - 2000 - The Covers Record Music Review
The one thought that kept coming back to me every time I listened to Cat Power's last album, Moon Pix, was "Where the hell does this woman come from, anyway?" I figured there was probably a bio out there somewhere, some publicity material on the chick—but I didn't wanna know.
Moon Pix saw Cat Power warbling and yelping over the couple of chords she knew, creating what wasn't so much a song cycle as a random assemblage of recollections and feelings.
There was a band playing behind her on Moon Pix, but not even, really—you'd hear a bass on one song, and then it'd be gone.

 Opus - Cat Power - Moon Pix
When I think of all the things I like about Moon Pix (Chan's voice, Jim White's understated drumming, the barely-there guitar of Marshall and Mick Turner), I realize its all the more wonderful because, like the critics, there are SCADS of artists out there already trying to do this.
Finally, it is to the credit of this disk that I am not the only snobbish type to break ranks with psych and drone to praise it.
Moon Pix was voted one of the 10 best albums of 1998 on the usually ultra-obscure preferring Drone-On electronic mailing list.

 Cat Power - Moon Pix: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Where her previous works were an urgent, aching mix of punk, folk, and blues, Moon Pix [+] is truly soul(ful) music: warm, reflective, complex, and cohesive.
For this album, Marshall moved the recording sessions for the album to Australia, and switched her rhythm section to the Dirty Three's Mick Turner [+] and Jim White [+]; the lineup changes add new depth and light to her compelling, intricate guitar work and gently insistent vocals.
From the backwards drum loop on "American Flag" (borrowed from the Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere") to the fluttering, smoky flutes on "He Turns Down" to the double-tracked vocals and crashing thunderstorms of "Say," Moon Pix [+]'s expressive arrangements mirror the songs' fine emotional shadings.

At the time Moon Pix was recorded, she was in Australia, backed by a local alternative band.
Moon Pix features two drum-driven pop tracks, "American Flag" and "Crossbone Style." The latter could be described as uncoordinated techno Ledbelly bluegrass, but I wouldn't describe it that way.
Moon Pix owes an overt debt to Drake's similarly dark Pink Moon.

She is so hurt, so desperate, as her mouth makes a creaky noise, filled more beautifully with emotion than tune.
And for this reason, she has made one of the best (and worst?) albums of the decade.
Perfect music for the lonely loser in all of us, but too dark for an everyday listen, Moon Pix is a rare exploration of absolute misery.

 Amazon.ca: Moon Pix: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It's an interesting contradiction mirrored in Marshall's vocal and lyrical talents; her voice soars and croons, sometimes trading melodies with a wandering flute line, while her lyrics are powerful, inscrutable, and fiercely intimate.
Although 'Moon Pix' did not nearly reach the impact of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' during the 90's, it can still be regarded as one of the most moving and captivating listens that the decade had to offer.
All in all, Moon Pix is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard and is strong competition with "XO" - Elliott Smith, "Portishead" - Portishead, and "To Bring You My Love" - PJ Harvey for the best sounding album of the 90's.

 Armchair DJ: Music Review: Cat Power: Moon Pix   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
"Moon Pix," the fourth album from singer/songwriter Chan Marshall's band, is constructed almost entirely from acoustic guitar, bass and vocals, with piano, flute and the occasional breakbeat thrown in for good measure.
"Moon Pix" will reportedly be Marshall's last album as Cat Power.
But on the basis of bewitching little ballads like "American Flag" and "Cross Bones Style" she's got a hell of a career ahead of her no matter what she calls herself.

Every song on Moon Pix is unique and moving, but none more so than my two favorite cuts, "Metal Heart" and " Cross Bones Style." "Metal Heart opens with a lilting, delicate electric acoustic magic.
I noticed that this is one of the few songs on Moon Pix with drums to drive the rhthym.
Moon Pix is one of those albums that grows richer with repeated listenings, which is truly an accomplishment in itself.

 Cat Power - You Are Free (Matador)
Damning years' of lofty expectations from critics and fans, it is a mature, well-crafted and worthy successor to Chan Marshall's masterful Moon Pix.
Gone is the slow backing of the Dirty Three's Mick Turner and Jim White, but the new record has largely retained the overall dreamy and minimalist feel of both 1998's Moon Pix and 2000's The Covers Record.
Over time it has progressed from being a slow moving rock song to the present, where its album incarnation is quiet and more focused on both vocal work and the elegant style of Warren Ellis' violin.

Moon Pix makes me want to get rid of all my other CDs.
On Moon Pix, Chan Marshall's voice ranges from little girl vulnerable to a loudness that is less than screaming and even more powerful.
The lyrics and music are unpredictable, and I would never try to say what a song was "about." You want to figure it out, though, and you want to be Chan Marshall's friend.

 Glorious Noise Music Reviews: Cat Power - Moon Pix
For those not acquainted with this record, a glance at its lyrics on one of the many websites devoted to her is enough to suggest the poetic, free associative style of her writing.
You know the one, I'm not supposed to say," she sings in "He Turns Down." Or, has anyone ever heard a more hopeless line than this from "No Sense:" "The moon is so hollow/ What's the use?" The record, both lyrically and instrumentally, is suffused with heartache and loss.
Moon Pix has an energy to it that is certainly unique to that record.

 eBay - Cassette: Moon Pix (UPC: 744861028628)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Somewhere between the narcotic stillness of Mazzy Star and the quiet desperation of Lisa Germano, Cat Power's MOON PIX is a compelling, often powerful album of mostly-acoustic songs delivered in Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall's clear, measured voice.
However it's the almost stark quietude of "Say," with its perfectly appropriate thunderstorm effects rumbling in the distance, which best sums up the small epiphanies of this often beautiful album.
...MOON PIX's subtly intense heart-breaking beauty made 1998 [singer/songwriter Chan] Marshall's year, and if her dry shiver of a voice made you uncomfortable at times, it's only because it made her uncomfortable, too...

Moon Pix follows a two year recording hiatus during which Marhsall quit playing music for a few months after some frightening emotional times.
But to say that this record is a blues record or a folk record is really too limiting.
Moon Pix transcends categories by simply placing the emphasis on mood.

 Salon Entertainment | Sharps & Flats
oon Pix" is the kind of album that just melts into ambient noise unless you really listen to it, listen without also talking on the phone or reading a magazine or playing on the computer.
The album's 11 songs are so slow, spare and understated that they seem to be coming from some Southern Gothic music box.
On the first few listens, all the songs on "Moon Pix" sound the same, fading in to each other to form one long lugubrious lullaby.

 Beneath NASA photographs - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
I first noticed some oddities with Pathfinder pix (longtime webheads will recall sites like 'the peculiar rocks of mars' which went into this) and after a lot of thought and study of the pix, gradually began coming up with a 'unified field theory' to explain what NASA have been doing..
So I've made a site with a few sections thus far, using offical Moon pix (only a couple of Mars sofar), demonstrating examples of how NASA hides detail and data - some of their methods are no-brainer simple, others are a lot more tricky.
Ever since I saw that special on FOX about how the Moon Landing could have been one big Hoax, I've been wondering whether We've really landed on the moon...

 Fast 'n' Bulbous Reviews: Cat Power * Moon Pix (Matador, 1998)
If you don't slow down your personal timescale and stop what you're doing, the album might just creep away without your noticing it, like the moon disappearing from sight on a cloudy evening.
Give it the attention it deserves, and it will reward you with the stunning atmospherics of "Say," complemented with sounds of thunder that were integrated so subtly you might have thought it was actually storming outside, even if it's five below zero in January.
It was actually recorded in January in Australia, and you can hear the influence of the giant outback skies.

When I asked a friend to give me something tranquil to listen to while I study, she gave me "Moon Pix" on tape.
Stilling and haunting, it proved entirely wrong for my purposes, being just the kind of music that makes you gaze off into the distance for long moments, forgetting where you are...Not that I minded.
I know there are a lot of five star reviews out there, and I've added one more to the pile, but you may take comfort in knowing that this is the only review I'll bother to do because Moon Pix has come to mean so much to me.
