The production is tight, hip and hypnotic, the lyrics are socially relevant, touching with very strong imagery. Every song is strong, with the possible exception of Blasphemy, which is more like audio theatre, and is strong in it's own "fear the system" kind of way.

This is an amazing album. It's a pity that artists with this much skill and heart can go relatively unnoticed.

This band reminds me a lot of Collide but maybe a little better. The singer has a good voice to begin with and uses effects to make it really sensual, sibillant and cool.

The backing music is pretty much what you'd expect but varied enough to stay interesting clearly though, the music serves to highlight the singer's voice which is the main "instrument" here. Which is cool because she has both the voice and the personality to pull off the role of dark diva.

The one gripe I have with this this album is one "track" that is just like an "acting skit" with a long section with no music and the and the woman arguing with some "governement agent" thatis supposedly trying to stop them from making music because it's just soo subversive. It comes off as cheesy and an amateurish blunder on what is otherwise a very polished and professional sounding album, but the "skit" in question is only about 2 or 3 minutes and easy to skip over.


Luckily the rest of the album is much much better and I recommend it to anyone who likes somewhat dark yet still fairly accessable electronic music with strong female vocals.

I don't know if this band is still around but I would definately like to hear more of them...

This is an album that I play over and over. I dance to it and (try) to sing to it. I love the lyrics on this album, they are mystical, intelligent, trippy, and beautiful. The lead singer's voice is strong yet vulnerable, and doesn't miss a note. I can't wait to hear what this singer does next, she is AMAZING.

Having been stuck in the stuffy room of the same old, repetitive, downtempo music, Moon Theory is a breath of fresh air. My review should actually say 4 1/2 stars because not all of the songs on the album are "mellow" per-say. But, the songs entitled "Momentary" and "Rhyme and Reason:" are most definitely in my chill playlist.
I also have to give it up to these cats for putting their entire album on the wire in real audio format so that you can "listen before you buy"...

Has a hard edge to it and keeps you rocking over the edge.

This is one of those albums where all the songs are great. The vocals are amazing....songs like Mother and Ruins are soft and bluesy then abruptly brash and forthcoming. The lyrics capture your attention. The beats are well mixed and flow well throughout the song....I especially liked the deep bass lines in Primeval.
