"This is an album I keep coming back to over the years, and it always amazes me. I only wish that I could single-handedly convince everyone in the world to give this album (and the next album, under the name "Luminous") a chance."
Best minneapolis music since prince
Brad Meyer | Eden Prairie, Minnesota United States | 03/02/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Its so hard to explain this band beyond simply brilliant. The vocals are soulful and are conveyed in such a manner that you actually FEEL something from the recording. The music is beautiful, even the almost blatant Young MC bass line sample. It just works, and the whole album has a sense of completeness to it."
World trip

"Actually, the lead singer's voice is closer to Souxsie of Souxsie and the Banshees than Portishead. The first track sucks you in!!! This CD is close to the trip-hop production of Bowery Electric's "Lush Life" in crackling vinyl sounds cradling electronic beats and bleeps.This is an excellent debut, but they have room to grow. And I look forward to it."
A must own CD

"If you are tired of the same old thing and are looking for something to immerse your self in then there is one of 2 albums you must own.
(The second being Luminous - Luminous)
Paul Robb - Founding member of the 80's band "Information Society" **
Supplies the "Trip-Hop" soundtrack
Barbara Cohen - a folk singer by trade melds pefectly into the rhythm's created by Paul Robb.
Long before Evenescence blended Classical Singing with Heavy metal Music,
Brother Sun Sister Moon (a.k.a. Luminous) Blended Techno and Trip-Hop with a Folk singer to make some of the best and most interesting music that I have come across in years.
** By the way Information Society fans, the comeback is just around the bend [...]"

"Never have I heard such a moving mixture of heavy beats, mellow music, and chilling but heavenly singing. Barbara Cohen's voice is perfect, and the whole CD itself is easily one of my all time favorites. A MUST have."
