Title: a mysterious visitor
Review: A true story... one day, I noticed a cd sitting on my computer desk. It was this Jim White album. I'd never heard of Jim White, but I figured someone must have loaned it to me and I forgot about it. So I gave it a listen, and was blown away! Moody, mysterious songs, beautiful production, the sort of postmodern-exotic sound of a Luaka Bop release... it reminded me of many things, from Tom Waits to Chris Isaak to Brian Eno's 1970s pop albums.So I started asking my friends to find out who loaned it to me. Nobody did. Nobody claims credit, or even knew who Jim White is.That's it. I'm convinced this album actually has magic voodoo powers, and simply willed itself onto my desk because it knew how much I needed to hear this music.
Is the review positive or negative?
