'Mindfilming' "Mixing rock, folk, and pop conventions with an edgy ease (and doing so in the 16-minutes-a-side whirlwind pace of the ’60s vinyl era), Captain Wilberforce crafts darkly beautiful three-minute gems" More from Amplifier Magazine "Chock full of raw and infectious slices of harmonic pop, it buzzes with crunching guitars and killer choruses. Bottom line, song after well-crafted song and melody after infectious melody that should be more than just casually appealing to the majority of folks out there! " More from NotLame.com "«Mindfilming» ist ein kleines Meisterwerk geworden.." More from SwissRecords.ch "Each song is brightly polished, alluring, fuzzy pop gem waiting to be discovered." More from Heathen Angel "This is not just some meek lo-fi attempt here; actually Bristoll makes explosive guitar dominated power-pop which does not shy away from dramatic layer-cake overdubbing and windmill power chords and most importantly of all, offers decent melodic ideas." More from Geiger.dk "A stunningly accomplished collection of classic pop that wears its Beatles and Brian Wilson influences on its sleeve but cuts the cloth to their very own shape." More from The Beat "'Mindfilming' the power pop gem debut from UK's Captain Wilberforce is loaded with a multitude of rich textures and sonic layering, it not only makes this album immediately likeable but continues to please again and again even after many subsequent listens." More from Access All Areas "Captain Wilberforce's album is the perfect tonic for fans of the perfect, radio-friendly alternative pop song." More from Russell's Reviews "Mindfilming presents ten very good pop songs in that broad and classic English tradition established by mid-career Lennon and McCartney." More from Whisperin And Hollerin "They’re following in a fine songwriting tradition, inventive pop symphonies and songs that tell a story, revelling in the fine detail and minutiae of life." More from Vibrations Magazine "10 beautifully constructed tracks of good honest pop music that sound both excitingly fresh, yet reassuringly familiar." More from Sandman Magazine "Some of the breeziest, loveliest and catchiest pop songs since the summer of Britpop landed nearly ten years ago. It's full of beautifully layered harmonies, upbeat rhythms and some catchy as hell guitar riffs." More from Leeds Music Scene "I Haven't Got Any Famous Friends is also upbeat. The style is difficult to pinpoint, possibly the Boo Radleys? An ELO for the noughties? This song is a less orchestral Mr. Blue Sky... Mini-LP? There's nothing mini about it." More from High Voltage "At just over half an hour, laden with juicy fun hooks and jolly craftsmanship, it's a record worthy of a listen…" More from Room Thirteen "In today's music market, it seems almost standard to front-load an album so that the listener has heard everything the album has to offer by the fourth song. I guess that Mindfilming by Captain Wilberforce could be considered an anomaly…" More from AntiMusic "Captain Wilberforce plays British indie rock in the same vein as Aqualung, Oasis and Supergrass with lots of parallels to The Beatles." More from Melodic.net "Yes, I like 'Mindfilming' - it's frighteningly good - it's an awesome piece of intelligent 'pop'. Although it has instant appeal it cleverly carries with it a great depth... that drags the listener right in and cries out to be listened to over and over. 'Mindfilming' is just superb!! Get it!!!" More from Toxic Pete "It’s commercially appealing, being tip-top songwriting given a subtle quirk, such as the bounce of ‘I Haven’t Got Any Famous Friends’ and the Ben Folds chirp of ‘A Very British Earthquake’." More from Vanity Project "Captain Wilberforce is great songwriting pared with an awesome voice and original ideas." More from Daredevil Magazine "'Mindfilming' is the kind of album that's deftly executed...complex pop dressed up in traditional folk influences. You could strip these songs down purely to singer with acoustic guitar status and it wouldn't take anything away from the music..." More from Alternative Rock Review ‘Mindfilming’ sounds like an ex-Military man - with the voice of Paul Heaton - turned super sleuth, who travels round all day in an old but still classy saloon, listening to a constant soundtrack of early Radiohead, The Stereophonics and Sleeper..." More from Subba-Culcha ‘Mindfilming is the group's debut and within its 32 minutes, the freakbeat enthusiast will find sufficient evidence of genius in tracks like the jaunty "A Very British Earthquake," the dynamic glam-infused "Vaselined Eyes," the folky "No Guarantees" and the intriguing title track."
