4.0 out of 5 stars Adrenaline & Variety, January 31, 2000

Scott Wheeler (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews

This album has some of the best beats I've found. From the progressively quickening pulse of "Maximum Pace" to the cool, soothing roll of "Clip the Lines" - there is more than enough variety to go around. The slower tracks are well placed, and tracks 2, 4, 6, & 8 have some of the most gripping, steamy, hard dance rythyms this side of Enigma's "Mea Culpa". It's a shame their other albums don't measure up as well. Fortunately, they only seem to be getting better as time goes on. I'm looking forward to their next realase.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Brief, But Pure Bliss", January 30, 2001

In my humble opinion, X Marks the Pedwalk are one of the greatest, most ingenius bands of the electronic genre. Once considered, goth/industrial, they have progressed into a techno-pop/avante gaurde hybrid. Die hard industrial fans may not appreciate what they have evolved into, but they have trancended the rigid, stagnating cliches of industrial and have skyrocketed into the realm of intellectual and emotional artistic divinity. Not all of their songs are masterpieces on this album. I wish there were more songs on Drawback. But the few actual songs that are on Drawback had me playing the album for months. Sevren's voice has a razor sharp tenor. The synths are beautifully textured and layered with a velvet polish. The beats are complex and refined. The melodies create a stiring since of awe and bittersweet wonderment. A strong recommendation for anyone, who enjoys refined, intellectual, and original music that touches the soul. James Cowart
