《Time Out》曾称Neil Halstead为"英国最出色的词曲创作者"，NME也称赞他写的歌"有着自成一格的真诚，发自肺腑的情歌抒写着最痛彻或最冷静的过往."

90年代，Neil Halstead组建了Shoegazing风潮中最富盛名的乐队Slowdive，短短六年时间用三张令人难忘的专辑见证了Shoegazing由兴起到衰败的过程。之后成立的Mojave 3是4AD旗下我最喜爱的乐队之一，Neil Halstead吸取了当时盛行的英伦新迷幻曲风，创造出如诗如梦般迷离的乐音。

喜欢Slowdive和Mojave 3的朋友一定要听听Neil Halstead的这张最新个人专辑<Oh! Mighty Engine>，熟悉的声音中听不出渐渐苍老的灵魂，听到的是记忆中早已习以为常的温暖、精巧和亲切。
