5.0 out of 5 stars Fathon, one of the best albums ever, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lusis/Fathom (Audio CD)

In 1993, I chose to buy Fathom because it had a cool cover. I never imagined that what I was buying would turn out to be one of the best alternative/industrial albums I have ever heard. Fathom to this day ranks among what I consider to be one of the best CD's ever released. From the powerful "Alive and Awake" to the ballad like "Jil Sent Me", Jerome and Gyro inspire and provide a quality sound unparalled in most of the alternative genre. For those who have still not heard of mortal, I made believers out of an entire dorm floor at college. Check it out when it is re-released in 2000, Lusis is not too bad either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply incredible!, December 2, 2005

These CD's belong in the collection of anyone who enjoys industrial music. Jyro is a phenomenal musician, and his compositions are, in my mind, the perfect blend of heavy guitars, movie samples ("Blade Runner", "Aliens"...even "A Wonderful Life", and several more I didn't recognize) and techno-influenced synths. Icing to the cake is Jyro's vocals--from the haunting "Rift", hard-core "Neplusultra", eclectic "Fisherman", Jyro can do it all, and does it all well.

The lyrics are intelligent, thoughtful, and uplifting...without sounding out-of-place in this style of music.

The highlights of Lusis and Fathom, in no particular order:
1) "The Rift"--probably my favorite track from the two discs;
2) "Enfleshed--the Word is alive";
3) "Mytho-X";
4) "Cryptic";
5) "Bright Wings";
6) "Godspeed";
7) oh yeah, the secret track, too :)

Mortal changed my mind about Christian music, and now I rarely listen to secular, anymore...not a small feat. Enjoy!

These guys are musical geniuses. I don't listen to much modern Christian music since I just can't get into the music. Has to be more than just inspirational lyrics for me to listen to it. These two CDs are great and I hope to find more songs similar to these guys. It's equal or better than any mainstream music!
