5.0 out of 5 stars This was a risk purchase, and definitely worth it., June 6, 2006

Ever buy something because the cover art was appealing or you liked the snazzy name?
I think at some point, everyone makes a risk purchase and most of the time the results are unpleasant.

I purchased this CD after hearing "Danger" as soundtrack to the DDS PS2 game. Most people disregard the music played in the opening credits of a video game, but I know talent when I hear it. I ordered the CD immediately and I am still delighted with the purchase.

Yes, I admit it: I'm old. And I like this record an awful lot. I listen to a lot of jazz, R&B, and funk, and shades of those elements drew me to this record on first listen. It's funky, electro-beat-driven euro-pop with ethereal female vocals and it just plain works, even for an old fart like myself.

Another plus is that the record is very well recorded and mastered -- it has a huge sound but there is plenty of bass and a tidy mix. Vocal sound is very smooth with some electronic fading and whatnot.

The music sounds simple but there is a lot going on in each mix -- occasional dissonance, some crunch, slamming beats, great vocals (throwaway lyrics, but that's to be expected) -- and it makes for a pretty smart funky modern kind of euro-pop record. The shocker is that the first five or six songs are all well written and interesting. After that it's a little repetitive, but that's true of many great records. Highly recommended.

Etro Anime's "See the Sound" was one of those CDs that I just happened to stumble across in the record store. Known to take dares on new acts, I was very impressed by this very ambitious and daring group at first listen. I didn't have to listen to it a couple of times like I do most albums to determine whether I like it or not..."See The Sound" immediately grabbed me with its heavy bass lines, refreshing grooves, dreamy melodies and infectious hooks. Lissette Alea's vocals are beautiful and strong enough to be compared to the likes of Gretchen Lieberum, Nelly Furtado and Geri Soriano-Lightwood (Supreme Beings of Leisure). Songs of note are "Endless", "Diablo", "Adonis", "Summer Rain", "Forgotten Love" and "All I Need." This will indeed be my soundtrack for this Summer!
