"As an intriguing piece of music history, the new Soft Bulletin Companion release is worth owning. For fans, it will be a fun listen, as the group's signature air of psychedelic madness and melodic mysticism still permeates the album. Beneath it all, however, one will ultimately find an honest portrait of a hardworking, unbelievably talented and imaginative band on the cusp of momentous success, soon to perform in large plastic balls, rolling atop crowds of adoring fans".

"Originally released in 1999 as a promotional CD-R, this collection of alternate mixes and non-album tracks bridges the gap between the band's experimental hijinks and pop instincts ... Now that billionaires are spending the equivalent of a small country's GDP to enjoy a few minutes in suborbital space, The Soft Bulletin Companion offers a much more cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to experience that fleeting, zero-gravity sensation of floating at the top of the world".

"The Soft Bulletin Companion is a fun album and very much a heady side show for appreciating The Soft Bulletin album. And keep in mind that there was a second volume of The Soft Bulletin Companion on CD-R (I have a copy of that one!) so maybe next year we'll get that issued on vinyl. Fingers crossed".
