A double stuff Oreo amidst generic cookies

"I read a review of this band that stated that finding their music was like finding a double stuff Oreo in the middle of a bunch of generic cookies, and I couldn't think of a better way to say it. I listen to this CD, and all of OP's CDs often. It's addictive, it's eerie, it's beautiful... These brothers show true talent, originality, and style. The music swirls around you and lifts you to a higher consciousness... It can make you feel things you didn't even know you could feel. This is a CD you HAVE to have..."

"In 1995, my ears were graced by the dark yet hypnotic sounds of Oneiroid Psychosis. By fortune, the band lived only minutes from me. Since then, I have been the audio concubine to their music. The first album "Stillbirth" was dark, creepy, and more traditional industrial machine. Fantasies About Illness progresses in originality and introduces us to a more aggressive and spooky side of their personas. Lars'vocals have vastly improved and change appropriately with each new mood. While "Midnight Mist" is up-tempo and spooky, "Influence of Orgaism" starts so casual, so quiety morbid, you would never expect the thunderous yet melodicaly lush conclusion. Though the album seems to fight between two facets of musical direction, calm machine and raw aggresion, the brothers Hansen accomplish the mixture rather smoothly. A must buy for all fans of original music, period."

I wasn't sure, but now I am!

"I wasn't sure if I'd like this, but my friends assured me I would. I listened to it, hesitantly. And now... I LOVE IT! I listen to it again and again and again. I listen to it in the car, at home, as I walk to the store - wherever I can, whenever I can. Don't hesitate - get it!"
