Records of 2010 - 29. The Books - The Way OutThe Books are nice. They're really good. The Books make sound collages out of obscure samples and weave together their own bizarre narratives. This, their fourth album takes self-help and hypnotherapy as the chief concepts as "you feel yourself going, deeper and deeper"as per the opener "Group Autogenics I." All this splicing together of sounds makes for something highly psychedelic, especially when said track starts talking about "orange coloured liquid." The Books have made four albums so far and many regard 2003's Japanese concept album "The Lemon of Pink" as their masterpiece. I, however feel that as they get older and wiser, their quality keeps growing, their sound getting less gimmicky and a lot richer. "The Way Out" contains some of their best work. I strongly think these guys can help you.
