Editorial Reviews

Stochastic Theory’s debut CD, "Soliloquy," is a powerful mix of danceable yet intimate electropop. Featuring the club hit, 'What You Weren't,' "Soliloquy" features 10 original tracks, including remixes from Null Device, Blind Faith & Envy, Epsilon Minus, and Echo Virus, plus a cover of Concrete Blonde’s classic track, ''Dance Along The Edge." Fans of Depeche Mode, Wolfsheim, Iris, and De/Vision will not be disappointed.

Okay, maybe I'm a smidge biased because they included a remix I did on the disc, but keep in mind I only did the remix because the song itself was so strong that I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I've probably listened to this album more than anyone short of the band, and I do have to say, it's a really solid, solid disc. The programming is nicely nuanced, and a refreshing change from a lot of the straight kick-drum-and-arpeggiator electropop formula that seems to be dominating the market these days. The vocals are strong, clear, in-tune (which sadly also seems to be unusual for a lot of music these days), and somewhat reminiscent of Information Society.

Another nice feature of this disc is that the songwriting doesn't follow a strict formula either. There's no Depeche Mode/Erasure cloning going on here; this isn't an album of mopey brood-pop or chirpy bleep-pop. Instead you get original, creative songwriting that works as a cohesive whole.

All in all, it's a great first disc for any band.
