5.0 out of 5 stars hummm, October 17, 2001

This review is from: EPrime (Audio CD)

I picked up this cd by accident. It was misfiled in the electronic section. I am really glad that happened. One of the employees at the store told me they were electronic rock. So I took a chance and bought it. It is a masterpeice that seamlessly pieces together so many genres and emotions. To say that it is electronic rock is not really doing this cd justice. It does however redefine rock and put sould into electronica. If you are looking for a jock rock, or hard band these guys are not for you. If you are looking for a trip hoppy radioheaddyish jeff buckeley cure jungle band these guys are it. Weird combo but it works =)

I can not believe there is music like this out there. It is the perfect blend of rock and electronica. If you like radiohead, Bjork, Pink Floyd mixed with drum and bass/jungle. This album is for you. These guys rock the house even more with there live shows which I was fortunate enough to see. They play all the electro live, cant wait to hear there full length. Peace. Highly suggest it.

Woven's debut EP "EPrime" is pretty much the ideal Halloween music: Dusky, melancholy rock with electronic undercurrents, music that can be called romantic-gothic if anything. It's haunting and ghostly, a trip into a cold night with a full moon.

The music ranges from steady and a little bit bouncy ("Beautiful") to hypnotic dark rock ("Tesion," "Who Knows"). And the half-hour long "Solder Me.... + Ghost Tracks" starts off with a mournful searing song ("It's all right/it's over...") that melts into a long, creepy near silence, only to resurface with a sort of foghorn-rock, which then transforms into an eerie drum-led song with haunting vocals. It sounds like a ghost trying to get out of a metal barrel.

There's not a lot of really spooky, beautiful music -- let alone something as accomplished as Woven's debut EP. It's creepy. It's pretty. And the final song is one of the finest sonic experiments that I have ever heard, especially taking into account the half-hour length.

The vocals are good, suitably mournful and wistful in all of the songs. It simply gets a little odd at the end of "Solder Me.... + Ghost Tracks," where Ory Hodis's vocals take on a strange, wind-moaning quality that seeps in and out. The electronic influence is subtle, slipping in and out of the heavy guitar riffs with a vaguely sinister, haunted-house feel.

You won't find what you expect in "EPrime". I certainly didn't -- it turned out to be brooding, melancholy and deeply engrossing. Welcome to the dark underworld -- Woven's "EPrime" will take you there.
