Chewing on Glass & Other Miracle Cures is a studio album by Canadian hip hop artist Sixtoo. It was released on Ninja Tune in 2004.[1] [2] It peaked at number 65 on the CMJ Top 200 chart.[3] Damo Suzuki provided vocals on "Storm Clouds & Silver Linings".[4] [5]
John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "Sixtoo's productions are dripping with atmosphere, and he possesses the fiending of a soundtracker for sounds that listeners haven't heard before but can immediately associate with a feeling -- and that feeling is usually a delicious sense of dread." Matthew Newton of XLR8R said: "Experimenting with acidic rock guitars and grimy basslines, Sixtoo reveals a new stylistic approach while retaining his signature murky sound."
David Moore of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.8 out of 10, saying: "Where so many electronic artists demonstrate their 'legitimate' acoustic abilities with the insistence of a neglected studio musician, Sixtoo's development as live musician and composer comes across as natural and well-suited to his talents." He called it "an admirably genuine fusion of acoustic composition with the sensibilities of electronic music."
Exclaim! named it the 2nd best electronic album of 2004.[6]
