Tweet Anthony Rochester is an artist we have followed for several years, and we had one of his songs, "Special Payment Option", on our "A Good Crop" compilation a couple of years ago. The Australian artist has released two very good albums earlier, "Music for Librarians" and "Music for in the Spaceship", and now he has a new album available. It's called "Hot Hits '96" , and features 12 good songs, full of the warmth, wit and sense [...]

Another lost classic from Aussie Anthony Rochester's Canon-quality Music For In The Spaceship . Keep an ear out for your favorite Christmas song toward the end.

Space travel, to paraphrase Jon Vanderslice, is lonely. Such is the message of Anthony Rochester's Music For Inside the Spaceship , an understated pop classic that rubs elbows with Field Music's buttoned-up performances and Sondre Lerche's jazz-leaning songcraft. Like Aussie countryman Guy Blackman, though, Rochester's songs are a few martinis drier than his post-Bacharach colleagues. He sings with a coolness surely hiding heartache and long-distance longing, emotions he reveals on "She Visits Her Friends On The Moon": "She's always going further away," he begins, before planting tongue firmly in cheek. "She's visiting her friends on the moon." But she [...]

Ο Χρυσός Κανόνας της Pop Μουσικής : "Κανένα pop τραγούδι δεν πρέπει να ξεπερνά σε διάρκεια τα 3 λεπτά " Ο παραπάνω κανόνας, τα τελευταία 55 χρόνια της εποχής της popular μουσικής έχει τηρηθεί ευλαβικά από πολλούς, έχει καταστρατηγηθεί κατά συρροή από άλλους, έχει επιβληθεί ακόμη και δια νόμου [ Eurovision ].. Αλήθεια, τι καλύτερο από ένα όμορφο pop τραγούδι που σε ξεσηκώνει με τη μελωδία, το ρυθμό και τους στίχους του μέσα σε μόλις δύο ή [...]
![Anthony Rochester: Music For In The Spaceship [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1452993_lg.jpg)
Written by Fense Listening to Music For In The Spaceship , one is tempted to label Anthony Rochester ( MySpace ) as a standard folk-pop artist. The melodies are simple and clean and slightly contemporary. Music For In The Spaceship is extremely accessible. Rochester's release was included in the latest batch of albums from Series Two Records, the Nebraska-based CD-R label that put out an impressive number of albums in '08. As the album continues, the contemporary elements initially heard in [...]

Upon first listening to Anthony Rochester 's Music For In The Spaceship album, it's very easy to understand how one might think that he comes from Sweden, where he would share the lyrical whimsy of Jens Lekman . Perhaps you could be forgiven for thinking that he hails from Norway, where he would be influenced by the vocal subtlety of Erlend Øye . And the true music aficionado would be justified in assuming that he must comes from Glasgow, since his gift of melody was obviously taught at the school of Belle and [...]

wer hier regelmäßig mitliest, wird sich an series two records erinnern und seine letzte offerte mit gleich vier veröffentlichungen am stück. mit desmond reed hatten wir uns hier beschäftigt. seinen labelkollegen anthony rochester gilt es heute etwas näher zu beleuchten. während ich mich vor einigen tagen hausputzangelegenheiten widmete, hatte ich "music for in the spaceship" im rekorder. um einen ersten eindruck zu erhalten. doch wie das so mit dem nebenbei hören ist, entweder man bekommt gar nichts mit oder aber es erfordert mehr aufmerksamkeit, als man der hauptbeschäftigung abtrutzen wollte. so war es denn [...]
I try not to do comparisons much, but singer Anthony Rochester's witty mellow pop rock really reminds me of Kings of Convenience. It really does. Which is good, because that new record the Kings were rumored to be working on, seems to not have been worked on so much. So, Anthony, it's nice to have you around: See Anthony play various instruments and sing "I Love You, Baby" Hear Anthony sing
