"Extraordinary 2-CD retrospective"
4 Stars
MOJO
"The elegance of the phrasing, the ubiquity of call and response figures (another connection to Miles Davis), the ability to fit almost sonic environment is quite uncanny…There isn't a single item here that doesn't have Lucas's musical personality running through it like quartz. Essential? It's all essential."
The Wire
"A testament to the man's restless energy and imagination."
UnCut
"Lucas' work offers a fascinating glimpse into a musical world that allows those imaginative instincts to take spark in ways that simply seem boundless. The Essential Gary Lucas offers a potpourri of adventurous sounds and ambitious intentions."
4.5 out of 5 Stars
American Songwriter Magazine
"A remarkable guitarist with a remarkable career."
OOR Magazine (NL)
"The Essential Gary Lucas" belongs at the heart of every living music collection."
ReportersOnline.com (NL)
"An exhaustive compilation of 36 songs better to understand an iconoclast of the guitar, a musician who has never been pigeonholed throughout his musical career, since he has never belonged to this or that faction."
Ruta 66 (Spain)
"An essential overview into the work and diverse musical passions of this remarkable musician."
4.5 out of 5 Stars
Jazzwise (UK)
"Utterly peerless, there's no finer pedigree in the world of creative music than Gary Lucas's and this double CD showcase the remarkable breadth of his work over the years."
5 out of 5 Stars
The Inconsistent Jukebox (UK)
"On this compendium, Lucas collects his own favorite work, and in a career that includes 30+ albums, this is likely to be everyone's favorite record of his, too."
10 out of 10
Take Effect (US)
"A feast for your ears and mind, so many textures and layers which shake, flow, and mould into a fascinating temple of sound. If you are looking for an album to enrich your listening palette, or an album to show off your musical knowledge to friends then look no further!"
4 out of 5
Off the Hook (UK)
"The star is Lucas's cosmic virtuosity, ripping raw down the rural backroads of acoustic 6-string or transforming Abdullh Ibrahim’s "Bra Joe from Kilimanjaro" into poetry that illuminates the entire emotional and sonic spectrum of electric guitar.”
Must-hear tracks: All 36 of them
Premier Guitar (US)
"If you've ever wondered what a Mandarin take on "All Along the Watchtower" (as sung by Feiifei Yang) would be as exciting as Bob Dylan’s original, the answer is a definite 'yes'."

The article linked below from Forrest J. Ackerman and James Warren's MONSTER WORLD circa 1966 got THE GOLEM ball rolling for Gary...a Jewish Frankenstein, how cool is that? When New Music America and the BAM Next Wave Festival offered him a commission in 1989 to develop new musical work in tandem with another art form, he instantly hit on the idea of live scoring the original 1920 silent German expressionist masterpiece, directed by and starring Paul Wegener—and he invited his childhood friend, keyboardist/composer Walter Horn, with who he had a long history of making radical music with, in on the project. Gary and Walter debuted their live score at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria (originally Kaufman Studios, where The Marx Brothers filmed "The Coconuts") in the Fall of 1989, and were a big hit there, with Laurie Anderson coming up to compliment them. Next John Zorn invited them to play with the film at his First Festival of Radical Jewish Culture in Munich the following year, and since then Gary has taken this film and their music all over the world—playing in over 20 countries and in fantastic venues, including 35MM Theater in Moscow and Dom Kino in St. Petersburg, at the Jecheon Festival of Film and Music in South Korea, opening the New York Jewish Film Festival at Lincoln Center, at Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City, at POP Montreal, the WUK in Wien, Berlin Jewish Film Festival, at the Amiens Festival in France, Teatro Verdi in Firenze, the First SP Terror Festival in Sao Paulo, the Valladolid Film Festival in Spain, at Royal Festival Hall in London, the Venice Biennale, the Next Festival in Tel Aviv, at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in Silver Spring MD, at the Sydney and Melbourne Jewish Film Festivals, Petofi Hall in Budapest, the Silent Movie Theatre in LA, at Paradiso Amsterdam—and of course, in Prague, home of THE GOLEM. Thanks to Jeff Roth for digging into his considerable archives for this Rocket from the Tombs.
