"I first saw this band, live in 2003 and was absolutely amazed. They are in the top 3 best live bands on my list, and that is a very big list. What got me? The complexity of the music, the beauty and grace of the performers, and the tightest set i have seen. The set ended in a huge build-up where everybody was getting into it. the drums were going hard, the keyboards making beautiful noise, the guitar player going crazy with a bow in hand; and then nothing. it abruptly ended with no feedback or reverb throughout the venue. I was fore-warned about this, but still dropped my jaw at how i was about to give up on earplugs and then there was complete silence.



Even though nothing can compare to the live show, the CD is almost just as amazing in its own respects. Blanca's vocals are mesmerizing and ethereal, the musicianship and songwriting is superb. I always pull this CD out when sharing music with other people, and they always thank me for it."
