5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, August 9, 2006
By 
Lorelai (Hixson, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Opener (Audio CD)
This is a great first album by 8mm. I got to see them perform live and it was such a wonderful show that I bought this CD from them there. It may only be 6 songs, but you won't be disappointed if you purchase it. If you want to check them out first and see what they sound like, they have a MySpace page: www.myspace.com/8mm They also have a new full album coming out 9/26/06 entitled "Songs to Love and Die By" and I will definitely be getting it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Heady Electro-Pop, June 11, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Opener (Audio CD)
On their debut, a six-song independently released EP, Los Angelino duo 8mm manage to create music that is at once familiar, yet remains strikingly original on its own merits. Their "sound" is a pleasant mix of ambient electronica and contemporary pop-rock--Morcheeba or Portishead as fronted by Heather Nova or Juliana Hatfield--the kind of stuff increasingly heard in arty coffee shops and on sexy teen TV dramas like One Tree Hill and The O.C. But, fueled by the post-industrial pedigree of Sean Beavan (former sound engineer and co-producer for Nine Inch Nails and mixer for Marilyn Manson) and the ethereal, haunting voice of his muse/wife, Juliette, 8mm eschews simply rehashing the material of others in favor of putting their own unique stamp on it. The production is refreshingly subtle; there's a ghostly simplicity to tracks like the lilting "Save Yourself" and the dreamy "Never Enough," while heavier-hitting entries (the rap-infused "Nothing Left to Lose," for instance) remain free of much of the overdone gadgetry too often heard today. Though one wonders what heights the duo might reach should they ever choose to rock out in the manner that Sean's former musical associates are known for, the band's first effort succeeds in being a memorable entry into the genre, and an exciting promise of projects yet to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a ghost whisper to the heart..., January 10, 2008
This review is from: Opener (Audio CD)
the soundscape brought out by this great behind-the-scenes group are both calming after a long day and lusty, making one want to reach out and rock someone. Some would say that only having 6 songs on the cd is kinda a hit on the sell-point, but for this price, it would have been worth it had the CD had half as many songs. I recommend this one for anyone who feels the trippy sound of sneaker pimps, the massive attack songs lead by their female vocalist, or trespassers william (Anchor, in particular).
