  • Turns out that the aforementioned Virgin DID actually like us all along!  Wow! Who'd have thought it possible?

 

          From the best and most excellent site on the net, Soundsxp.com, {a site run entirely by Special Olympians} they had this to say about Eceloe

          Mountain:

          "Oh dear....after the first listen.....it's not bad actually.....


          [The band have] been listening to a lot of bluegrass/Nick Cave/Tom Waites or something


          A couple of the tracks are overly long, but apart from that there is nothing like the ammount of "cock-age" that has been present in your earlier

          stuff"

 
  • From Hotpress 'Off Her Rocker blog' Top 50 Irish Singles 2008

          No.8, 'Bees of the Future', from Visions of Eceloe Mountain Highly-creative, overexcited, aurally-hyperactive Hoovers & Sledgehammers

          are shit-hot in these quarters: Visions from Eceloe Mountain was a gleeful find of 2008, snapped up free from their website which I¹ve taken to

          haunting like waif in search of alms-tunes. Boasting the most squeegee use of guitar pedals all year and more bass-love than a turkey baster, they

          just do not give a fuck for any semblance of Right, Done, Standard or Correct and I fucking love them for it. Bring on the beards, glitter and

          gyropters

          

  • From September '08 Connected. Review of 'Visions from Eceloe Mountain'

          Music, as we all know, falls into a number of easily defined categories — genres, if you will. These 'genre' labels will often tell you things like whether

        or not the musicians are into tahini (the addition of the arpeggiated fifth is a dead giveaway), or if their tastes err more on the fibre-rich

        cereal side (do I really have to explain?), which is helpful when making

        an informed record purchase. Visions From Eceloe Mountain suggests heavy use of kimberley biscuits, as well as other Jacob's sweetmeats. You can

        hear the sticky, gingery little mounds of pleasure punctuating the odd cymbal crash or gumming up Robert Crumb's slide guitar solo. Elsewhere,

        mikados dominate the Talking Heads-flavoured Talking Surreal —and fuck me if there aren't fig roll crumbs all over Bees Of The Future.

        Like biscuits? You'll love H&S. 4/5 Steve McMullin

  •  From 'Off her Rocker Blog':

           I gotta agree that they’re unsung heroes on the music circuit, Fight Like Apes are huge fans and chose them to perform at their curation of Doyle’s

         Ruby Sessions in December(-ish?). Visions from Eceloe Mountain was a real gem of a find last year, given away as a free download on the Drunken

         Lust website and is still free to download.
