5.0 out of 5 stars Listening to the samples should be enough to convince you., February 9, 2000

Lovers of Bjork may actually find themselves feeling blasphemous after hearing Nina Hynes sing. The sound is similar to Bjork, but there is something extra there that we may all find that we were wanting to hear all along. Add to this a band who understands her and finds a unique balance of support and accompaniment, and you have something that is unfortunately rare in the music industry of late: a good album. Every song has its own sound, ambient at times, hard edged at others, and every sound in between. The music is full of emotion that will lull you one moment, and build you into a frenzy the next. "This Magic Stuff" is one of the most unique and powerful songs I have heard since the Sugarcubes'"Birthday." I have never felt I should promote a band before, but I truly feel that everyone should listen to this music. It could very well save the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 21, 1999

This is an amazing CD. I've seen the band live on several occasions in Dublin and New York. I never ever thought that they could capture the power, spirit and soul of their live shows onto a recording, but they have. Believe me. Very well produced/recorded and overall just an amazing, amazing sound...

THIS MAGIC STUFF is probably destined to be an alternative legend of a song, while HE TURNED THE LIGHT OFF is a song that, while listening to it, you can almost see sparkles in the air; Beautiful and seriously surreal. TRIGGER is much harder edged and definitely makes you think that there is some musical genius at work here. The finale, BRING ME ALIVE showcases the whole band. In it, Nina's striking voice almost becomes another instrument as the song descends into My Bloody Valentine territory. Bloody incredible...

As you can tell, I'm convinced. If you haven't seen them live or heard this debut, DO IT! It's important. While this band are nothing like their compatriots U2, they tread the same powerful ground with songs from the soul and music that sends tingles up your spine. More please!

P.S. Check out the secret (well, not so secret now) track which is probably one of the most interesting tracks on the album...
