5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Wave and Ethereal Mix - New Classic!, June 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Music Is Chemical (Audio CD)

I've been a fan of Mera's work with Black Tape for a Blue Girl and Faith and the Muse for many years, with Remnants of a Deeper Purity being my favorite BTFBG album of all time where she appears as cellist and front-cover model. But you add Byron Brown's talents to the mix and Mera taking on the vocals and I was literally blown away from the first time I heard samples on mp3.com. I have had the album now since it first came out and it still gets tons of play on my stereo. This band is a classic that will remain on Gothic Paradise for as long as they are making music. The New Wave, Gothic and Ethereal influences all blend so well to create a very accessible, never boring and smooth sound. "Walking West" reminds me of the better smooth songs of Faith and the Muse and "Nu Wave Fairy" brings out the best of the New Wave genre rivaling and superceding other greats like Blondie and Berlin. This is highly recommended, see my full review at Gothic Paradise - www.gothicparadise.com.

I haphazardly stumbled upon this band while on mp3.com looking for cocteau twins similar artists, the album cover did not look promising but it is what's inside that counts, ey?
they sound like all of my favorite artists in one super sexy package. This cd is in heavy rotation on my stereo, it never becomes redundant or tiresome, each track is impressive and incredibly catchy, songs like "Shaky shaky bells" are Cocteau twin-ish, Mercurine is a bit more new-wave sounding than the aforementioned band at times.
