 Dreamy electro-Brit-pop Oct 01, 2004
By Russell Evansen
"revansen"
Like so many of my favorite artists, Weekend Players would still be unknown to me if I had to rely on radio to introduce me to good music. Fortunately, I discovered them through the "Ultra Chill" compilation CDs, which have been consistently worth the price in terms of suggesting new artists to investigate. The first song I heard was "Jericho" (on Ultra Chill 04 - another good buy) and I was immediately smitten by the smooth grooves and Rachel Foster's Tracey Thorn-like voice. Many people have compared Weekend Players to EBTG, but they also compare favorably to trip-pop groups like Morcheeba and electronica artists like Chicane. The mood here is relaxed and sultry, the tunes are infectious and the vocals are lovely. What more could you ask?

Yes, please, may I have another? Nov 06, 2005
By Zengrrl
I love, love, love this CD. It has been in constant rotation (at home, in my car, at work, on my iPod, at the gym) since 2003. This tops my list of desert island CDs.
It is so dreamy and relaxing, but not in the obvious formulaic downtempo way. Rachel Foster's voice sends me spinning. And can Andy Cato do any wrong? With Groove Armada, Weekend Players and Caia under his belt, I think not.
I actually bought this CD on a lark - I loved the album cover, the artist's name, and it was at a "new artist" price of $9.99. I didn't realize until later that Andy Cato was the mastermind behind the project, or I would have bought it the day it was released.
"Jericho" is easily one of my all time favorite songs. Rachel Foster's voice on this song, along with the sensual lyrics, leaves you wanting more, and do they deliver more. The entire CD is lazy and sensuous, so sophisticated without feeling at all contrived. Every song is a standout, one melting into the other, yet all with a distinctive sound. "I'll Be There", "Best Days of Our Lives", "Pursuit of Happiness" and "Higher Ground", along with "Jericho" are forever etched into my being. I know that this is one of those CDs that I will carry with me through life. Dramatic, I know, but that is how much I love it.
My message? Buy, play, repeat. I pray there is a sophomoric release for this side project and the sooner, the better.

Awesome debut! May 12, 2003
By R. Coley
"pizicato5"
The pursuit of happiness by Weekend players is a pursuit well worth your time. As an Everything but the girl fan, I was really pleased to hear a similar type of feel. If you like Tracy Thorn's vocals, you'll love Rachel Foster's! She sounds like Sade in a couple of songs, which is not a bad thing at all. "Higher ground" is a track that will no doubt be this CD's best even though it's repetitive nature might initially turn off some, but you can't deny this track's sensual and chill nature. I've been told by a couple of married friends of mine that they love to listen to it because of reasons that you will discover once you listen to it. There are other standouts on this CD such as "I'll be there", "21st century" and "Best days of our lives" which sounds as if Sade sung it herself. I really loved this CD when I initially got it sometime ago as an import and this version includes 2 remixes. I definitely would recommend this CD as it definitely gets you going in all sorts of ways. They really have an excellent mix of chill and dance music that I really liked. I can't wait to hear from more of this duo!

KCRW'S BEST Aug 22, 2002
I first heard "Jericho" on Metropolis on KCRW. I just knew I had to have it. At first I was convinced that it was sung by Julia Fordham.Buy this CD for lyrics like "Come fill my senses up with you."
You won't regret it!

This is a fantastic album Feb 27, 2007
By Cribbagio
Wow! What a great find this was. Every track is just awesome and the album is not repetitive, there is a lot of variety. This is one of the few albums I have that I can listen to over and over and enjoy it every time. The production and vocals on this album are top notch.
