Wildest Dreams

"Wildest Dreams is like a vision of an alternate reality where Harvey never put down the drumsticks in favor of turntables. As the closest thing current DJ culture has to a rock star, he's comfortable in the frontman role. Like Morrison and Hendrix, Bassett is selling a live-free-or-die lifestyle. Though bands like Wooden Shjips and The Black Angels explore similar territory, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better psychedelic rock album this year".

" The band cooks on pound-and-grind numbers like "Bosh," "Last Ride," and "Yes We Can," the last of which is nothing like the Allen Toussaint composition. There are intermittent passages where they space out, with highlight "Pleasure Swell" -- a showcase for Hastie's twinkling electric piano work -- akin to a murky, tranquil flip of the Doors' "Riders on the Storm." This can be taken as either an emulation or parody of its inspirations...or both. Bassett and his fellow knuckle-dragging stargazers are having far too much fun to care about anyone else's perception".
