CD Reviews

More synthetic brilliance of Sweden
Trevor Mcmurray | Oregon | 09/09/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This C.D. is really cool. I popped it into my car stereo after a music festival and began the drive home. I was going on a max of 4 hours sleep, but the energy of this release sustained me the whole trip home. The really brilliant thing about this band is that the vocalist lends a distinctive style that makes Rupesh Cartel instantly recognizeable. To try to describe it is difficult, but his voice has a gravelly quality that complements the sheen of the electronics very well. This is not to say the programming is lackluster. The airy, white noise lead that opens the first track is unique and indicative of the brilliance to come. Just buy the c.d., or at very least check out the downloads, and prrepare for something fresh."
Good synth pop, some catchy tunes
K. Mulhall | So Cal, USA | 08/12/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I downloaded "Death with Soft Names" and was immediately hooked. Although the song still remains my favorite on the album, there are plenty of other songs that make this a must have for any synth pop fan."
Killer electronic album with some bite
Commander Fun | St. Louis, MO USA | 08/02/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great album - it's got the thumpin' bass of techno/electronica, but more in the vein of New Order, where the lyrics are also angsty and not just fluff. More good stuff coming from somewhere in Scandinavia."
