Though I have long thought of Venus Hum as belonging in that league, what sent them soaring in my view was that they were bringing something new to it.
For some reason Venus Hum always inspires me to make lists of producers and remixers I'd like to hear them work with, and this album is no exception: "Lumberjacks" is just calling out for a Shep Pettibone remix to make the percussion a little more prominent, for example.
Not long ago I wrote, "Venus Hum is a band I could easily come to love, if I haven't already." Now I feel as though I have been on two very good dates with them, and on the third, they decided they had to wash their hair.

 Venus Hum - Big Beautiful Sky - Review - Stylus Magazine
The sad thing is that the dancey-ornate pop, that Venus Hum is most known for, is their weakest aspect.
It’s interesting to find that the most pleasant tunes are the ones where Venus Hum slow down the drum machine, use a less-is-more approach, and give Strean more room to be herself.
If Venus Hum could pull something of a reverse Goldfrapp and release a smoother, less dance, more dream-pop follow up to Big Beautiful Sky, giving Strean more room to breath, the result would no doubt be far superior to Big Beautiful Sky’s pussyfooting.

 Review - Venus Hum: Big Beautiful Sky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Venus Hum brings the trio format into an interesting place, if not an entirely new one, making bouncy rock suitable for dancing, synthy new wave reminiscent of the general state of music in the late 80s, and dreamy, creamy pop waiting for you to happily sink in.
My guess - and that's just what it is - is that the retro-synth aspect of this music will keep it out of the mainstream, but there's not a song here that isn't ripe for the dance floors, especially in Europe, although the clubbers in America can't miss this, either, unless they're on something.
Demographics aside, stripped to the bare essence, what we have here is a creative trio of highly talented artists in their debut full length release, and you can bet they're going to be on the scene for a long time.
