ReviewsIncluded in Wire Magazine's "50 Records of the Year '99", "...gorgeous, a silky confection with its heart in late 60s orchestrated American pop, with just enough edgy noises to hold onto its avant status...", "...Chicago's favorite avant-son has pulled a fast one on fans of his deconstructionist aesthetic, as the album plays it atypically melodic and pop centric. In fact, EUREKA is practically easy listening, marked by light, jazzy arrangements and swank instrumental detail...", Ranked #32 in Mojo Magazine's "Best of 1999in, "...O'Rourke blends brass, woodwind, double bass, strings, steel guitars and pianos into a heady tropical punch, garnished with lyrics that cover everything from cakes to car crashes...", "This Chicago-based underground scenester performs trippy mutations on everything from cool jazz to prog-rock to Sergio Mendes bossa nova..." - Rating: B
