Try not to drag out the Syd and Lennon comparisons one more time, OK? By now everyone knows that Robyn has a psychedelic heart. But after umpteen albums, can't we admit that this style is his, not anyone else's? The pure mix of pop, folk, the images that seem to come merrily loping out of left field--that's him. And on Moss Elixir, he's refined the sound, being very spare with his arrangements--a little guitar here, a few strings there-which only serve to point out how strong his material is (as well it should be, given that he's been performing a lot of this live for a while). He's also a guitarist of great talent and restraint; there's plenty he can do, but he prefers to lay back and let the song speak for itself. Take his lyrical images as you want--is "The Devil's Radio" about rock & roll or the rise of those conservative talk radio shows?--the ambiguity can be delightful, and a clear sign of just how far he's come. Look, he's been doing this for the better part of 20 years now. Can't we just admit that he's grown out of everyone's shadow to become a (slightly eccentric) genius in his own right? --Chris Nickson --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
