Editorial Reviews

Mick Mercer, "The Mic" magazine, 2004

"...This record is utterly delightful in everyway, and I'm only scraping the surface."

About the Artist

Abney Park began in nebulous, seedy bars, etching a following with dark electronica reminiscent of Depeche Mode and Billy Idol. Though gradual success was apparent, the long arm of the internet truly catapulted the exposure of Abney Park to starved souls around the world.

As the years have progressed, Abney Park’s music has transformed into an amalgam of Dead Can Dance, Danny Elfman and Rammstein, truly innovating themselves and conveying a musical maturity apparent from release to release. This has proven to be well received by fans and reviewers alike, solidifying a fan base while drawing more people into the fold everyday.

Abney Park has produced a number of CDs including ‘Return to the Fire’, ‘Cemetery Number 1’, From Dreams and Angels’ and Twisted and Broken’; the latter of which has been called a tribute CD by the artists who contributed to it (consisting of some of the biggest names in the underground music scene). In support of these and other releases, Abney Park has played live all over the North American Continent from Vancouver, Canada to Las Vegas Nevada and well over a dozen stops in between.

And that’s not all.

Abney Park has also appeared on sound tracks for movies and video games as well as a variety of compilation CDs including Cleopatra Record’s Unquiet Grave 3.

So if you’re interested in exploring a darker side of human nature, if you’re yearning for something to capture the spirit and raise the pulse, then prepare to indulge your next obsession.

This review is from: From Dreams Or Angels (ex) (Audio CD)

When you go to actually listen to this cd, you simply need to really listen to it. Or just scratch the surface. Thats what I found special about this. There are so many levels to the music. Which leave you free to dig as deep or as little as you wish. Here is a good example. Thornes and Brambles has a very solid slow melogy that leaves one to start dancing slowly. Or if you listen to the lyrics.. it changes the song to a fight song in a sense.. Absolutely nothing over powers anything throughout the work. You can hear everything seperately but in the same way, they mesh and become one sound.
Hope this helps

This was the first CD i bought by Abney Park. I loved it. Their sound is amazing and the lyrics are unique. I was not disappointed. My favorite songs were 'Hush' 'Breathe' 'Tiny Monster' and 'Thorns and Brambles'.
