| jbunniii (San Jose, CA) | Posted: Aug 12, 2012 - 10:29 I like much of Robbie's solo work, but not this. |
| Painted_Turtle (Land of Laughing Waters) | Posted: Jul 26, 2012 - 09:32 Nice  |
| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Jun 07, 2012 - 16:23 This is the first thing off this album that I've found approachable. Beautifully done. 7. |

Yep, it's a big thing in the web apps development world these days. See Applications written in Python and List of Python software. The 'meta-CMS' Zope is written in Python. |
| lkovathana (Chicago, Illinois) | Posted: Apr 29, 2012 - 20:25 Kind of sounds like the sad music near the end of last week's (2012 04 22) Mad Men. |
| misterbearbaby (Marina del Rey, California) | Posted: Apr 28, 2012 - 12:04 What is it that makes this so darn good? Is it a kind of sweeping composition from a sort of philosophical period of his life? Perhaps, as he gets on in years, he's trying to 'say something' like Duke Ellington did with his orchestral compositions? Or maybe he's just a great rock guitarist playing with a few of his friends like Clapton, Winwood, Trent Reznor, working on a big idea. Whatever it is, it works. |

| hbs47 (SE England) | Posted: Jan 24, 2012 - 09:07 Of course it could have been written for Robbie's mate Django Smith. |

I'm with you, this is definitely not along the lines of Django and he would have found it , shall I say a bit over the top |

This music is not just well-written; it is also well-produced... great movie soundtrack material... I dig it... |

| abbey_normal | Posted: Oct 17, 2011 - 10:51 Django! I loves me some Python! This sounds a lot like something from the Babel soundtrack to me. |

| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Sep 14, 2011 - 11:52 I think the boy done good on this one! Nice. |

| michaelgmitchell (Ontario, Canada) | Posted: Aug 19, 2011 - 07:09 That was tasty. Robbie discussed this album on Q (CBC Radio 1) recently. You can find the podcast through iTunes. Good stuff. |

| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Jul 29, 2011 - 18:03 This is nice — like it. Funny comment about the cover shot! With the sunglasses & stoic face he reminds me of "Lenny" from the Today Show crowd....  |

| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Jul 18, 2011 - 22:15 Sure seems INCREDIBLE to me...first listen...and I sure do like it...hearing another cut off this earlier made me find his self-titled and Music for Native Americans and play them back to back...and now I come back to RP and not long after, THIS comes on...Wait, did you hear that? Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me... |

| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: May 16, 2011 - 15:34 ...you know, for ten years i checked his website at least three or four times per year looking for news of his next solo project, then this one snuck up and caught me completely offguard browsing through the record store a couple of weeks ago!..how to become clairvoyant is a great album, albeit more straight-up blues/rock than his previous solo efforts, so this track definitely stands out stylistically compared to the balance... |
| brander (Southern California) | Posted: May 16, 2011 - 15:31 An homage to Mr. Reinhardt? |
