Editorial Reviews

CMJ Weekly, July 2, 2001

"You have not heard anything like this before, and you are not soon likely to. Revel in it!"

Phoenix New Times, July 12, 2001

"The group's unique blend of fierce hot primalism and cold digital cerebralism is startlingly beautiful and at times breathtaking."

5.0 out of 5 stars White-hot organic trance/techno!!!, August 13, 2002
By 
Atom Smasher (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imago (Audio CD)
If you're into organic band-driven fusions of rock and techno, dub, trance, etc. (Mouse on Mars, Mice Parade, Neu!, etc.) you've got to check this stuff out. This album first turned me on to Rovo in a big way, which led to my seeing them live in San Francisco in 2001. Much as I dug the record, it was only after seeing them live that I realized that this band pulls off their amazing sound in real-time, and that the awesome effects achieved on Imago were not the result of studio wizardry or cut-and-paste beats, but because Rovo are one of the most incredibly tight and virtuosic bands I've ever seen. Watching the two drummers play complex poly-rhythms off each other was worth the price alone. Definitely check out their show next time they come anywhere near you. Meanwhile, pick this one up. It's a knock-out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, pleasing, and fun, January 12, 2002
This review is from: Imago (Audio CD)
Rovo is not like anything you'd normally find categorised as techno, trance, or electronic -- incidental music doesn't quite grasp the complexity of the music, either. But the music is fun -- it's interesting to listen to; there's always something new to hear in the tracks. It's different, and unique, incorporating more traditional elements of electronica with things you can't quite figure out what you hear. The best way to decide if you like this is download "Horses" or "N'Dam" (at epitonic.com) and give it a try. This is music that engages your brain, as well as your body, without leaving you behind thinking you missed something along the way.
