5.0 out of 5 stars Quality synthpop, September 8, 2005

I don't understand why this album has been almost completely ignored. It was released last April, and not a single review until now? Anyway, I heard a couple of the tracks totally by accident on Rhapsody at a friend's party. I was impressed, so I checked it out further.

I'm a big fan of electronic music, whether it's goth-industrial, darkwave, ambient, or synthpop, and this is some of the best synthpop I've heard in a long time. Think newer Apoptygma Berzerk with a female singer, or perhaps a poppier version of Lacuna Coil. The production quality is top-notch and Charlene is an impressive singer. Most of the songs are very catchy with great hooks that stay in your head for days. My favorites are "Golden Glass" (probably the darkest song on here), "Something Different" (quirky with big hooks), "Slightest Wave" (so poppy it boarders on cheesy, but so catchy so can't help but like it), "Shout" (a Depeche Mode cover), and "She's Left in Silence" (a really beautiful song).

I recommend you check this one out.

The Charming Factor Hi, Stephen Lourdes here. If it can come as any recommendation at all, we placed Blind Faith and Envy as music artists for feature film. Blind Faith and Envy cover all of the bases; wall of sound, heavy without being overt, lyrical, ability to be eclectic, improvise, know their craft, expansive. In other words, the all important X-factor or the 'It-factor' that so many search for, but few realize.

The Charming Factor is an absolute delight! I love almost every song on this CD (which is rare). I'm a recent fan of Blind Faith and Envy. I purchased all of their CD's after discovering them on myspace.

Golden Glass is one of my favorites on this CD. I love that song! I'm looking forward to what this group will come out with next.
