5.0 out of 5 stars Frankly, my favorite new album of the year, November 23, 2000

How many bands do you know that embrace their synth sound without irony but go for a pop melodic sound instead of a machine sound? They use three (!) simultanious vocalists and an 80's style synth backup with drum n' bass drum machine to make familiar yet totally unique music. They also have what I'd call the Twin Cities underground sound, which evokes a sort of wintertime mystery, a hidden treasure in a city of small neighborhoods, (some) beautiful archetecture and a vibrant art scene full of people who still defend using the word "art" to describe what they do. I'm rambling, but give this disc a listen. They also have mp3s available at their site to give you an idea of their sound. I listen to this at work more than any other record. Check it out

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Electronica/80s Pop/Gaelic Melodies, August 2, 2000

I discovered this Minneapolis group via MP3.com and have been suitably impressed with Super Powers and Cape Canaveral to place an order for the full (though slim) disc. Ethereal in the way that Clannad and Maire Brennan combine new age airiness with a feeling of ancient folk mysticism. Looking forward to discovering what more the group can do with this sound and direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautific, angelic, and fine., November 22, 2001

This music is clean, well written & awesomely sung. To listen is to enter a form of meditation or some form of escapist bliss.
I believe that the music draws upon many roots and is good, but the true soul of the music is found in its vocals.

I am drawn away from my life's varied problems upon listening to Ms Orluck's beautiful sound.
