AMG REVIEW: An even better follow-up to 1996's Encyclopediac, 1999's Encyclopediac Two collects several years' worth of recordings by New Jersey-based singer/radio personality Krystyna Olsiewicz. Most of these originally appeared on albums by Olsiewicz's husband, R. Stevie Moore, who plays nearly all the instruments and provides most of the backing vocals. Aside from a brief and rackety original, "Torture Us," and two versions of the sublime, Stereolab-like "Where We Are Right Now" (a slightly longer, more low-key take and the original that appeared on the now out of print German CD-EP Objectivity, a collaboration between Moore and Yukio Yung), all the tracks are covers in a wide variety of styles. Only Olsiewicz and Moore could swing so easily from utterly straight versions of the gloriously sappy '70s AM hits "Precious and Few" and "Where Do the Children Play" to a clattering, dub-style version of Public Image Ltd's "Poptones" to a terrific, lo-fi acoustic version of the Motown standard "The One Who Really Loves You." Olsiewicz is an appealing singer whose voice may seem a bit thin at first, but who manages both a playfully sexy growl (a gender-twisted version of Terence Trent D'Arby's "She Kissed Me") and an angelic soprano (a version of Joni Mitchell's "Carey" that ups the pop-song potential hinted at in the original) with aplomb and approaches even difficult material with casual ease.
