　　The bright-eyed Britpop combo Obi first came to being in 2000, when the band's members decided to come together in a studio in London. An intensive period of songwriting resulted in a demo, and that was used to score them several gigs. The band had actually existed in a much different form before this point, but it was the combination of a revamped lineup and better material that really brought the 2000 incarnation of Obi together. The band hired engineer Charlie Francis to record a new demo for the group, and the tape reached the desk of Cooking Vinyl Records later that year. The label signed the band and they asked Francis to come back and record their full-length, The Magic Land of Radio (2002.)
　　
　　Review by Tim DiGravina
　　Though some critics have suggested that Obi might be the next coming of the Go-Betweens, the band's debut album suggests they're more in line to become the next Czars. That's more than an acceptable fate for any band, though as of Obi's debut, the Czars have yet to take off and earn the acclaim they're due. While it's difficult to guess where The Magic Land of Radio will take Obi, it's quite easy to see where the band takes its listeners. Songwriter Damian Katkhuda favors the same kind of somber, country-tinged folk-pop that John Grant virtually patented on Before...But Longer and from which Mark Kozelek has made an entire career. There's a touch of the Go-Betweens subtle, charming pop, but Obi shows very little sign of that band's quirkiness, and they refuse to rock out except in very small, controlled passages. Bright, airy acoustic guitars rule the day. The clean and bold "Somewhere Nicer" merges a lap steel guitar and rolling melodies, recalling the country twang of early Yo La Tengo while referencing Nick Drake's Bryter Layter. "What's in a Name" is the other standout. It's a dark, rich mix of acoustic guitars and complex melodies, suggesting a more subtle Doves or Travis. Damin Katkhuda has a compelling, distinctive vocal delivery. His voice suggests a combination of Kozelek's croon and Bobby Gillespie's dreaminess. If The Magic Land of Radio took a few more chances, it would distinguish itself a bit more from the many contemporary new acoustic albums that have come from the U.K. While subtlety can be an art form, Obi might have played their cards too conservatively on their debut to break away from the pack.

Travis后遗症
bix

听英式听了整整十年，发现能抓住耳朵的往往不是NME主推的大牌，而是沉浮于二线的那些散落的珍珠。比如OBI，他们02年发的这张Debut音乐做的漂亮，耐听，格调清爽，简洁。“拥有Travis遥不可及的细腻情感，彻底令人惊艳”，这评价窝心。...... (3回应)

低调。温暖。
小浮尸

OBI把音乐演绎得低迷而轻扬，从唱机里娓娓道来，或浓或淡的忧郁弥漫开。印象中的OBI有着沉静的容颜，主唱的声线像是被时光拉长的抒情的海岸线，灰蓝色的海洋铺展成一张寂寞的脸。仿佛能看到那个男子带着些许悲伤的姿势轻轻哼唱。他站在海边，站在遥远的地平线，站在时间的尽头。于是，一首What's In A N......

不温不火，酷歌一首
nowherepuppy

indie乐队满天飞，每个人都可以把自己的故事和想象写成歌曲，随便你听不听。我想大多数人听到Obi都是拜洋垃圾所赐，更重要的是量足价廉，卖了足足一年多了现在还能见到不少。你问我为什么听这个团？我的理由就是这么直接。每个人的生活都有可歌可书的地方，问题是你得花时间花心思去欣赏。何况Obi的这张magic land...... (1回应)

居然乌龙了= =
小祷(荒啊什么都荒了)

可能是下的时候过于混乱了，竟然将这张归到了mansun的了，话说和mansun主唱的声音还真像，几年了一直没分出来。今天看到豆瓣才知道自己弄错了！囧到了。亏我还时不时的翻出来重温呢。。。好了，来说这张专辑~专辑的名字起的很是贴切呢。乍一听还以为是乡村乐，因为阳光，夏天的感觉。不过后来听的越来越多了后，...... (1回应)
