5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, December 15, 2004

Swampsprite "Swampy" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: This Timeless Turning (Audio CD)

SCM is an underrated band that deserved a lot more attention than they ever got. Anisa Romero has possibly the best voice in the business - haunting, ethereal, and with a range that puts Whitney "Crack Is Whack" Houston to shame.

The music is free flowing, and there is no particular style that gets more attention than any other. They do what they feel, and they have the musicianship to pull it off. Lyrically, they are intelligent and fascinating whether they are singing about global warming, space aliens, or twisted love.

I ordered this album a long time ago through one of those rip-off music clubs, having never heard of this Seattle based band before. I didn't listen to it for a few months until I just got a wild hair up my bum to hear something new. I was hooked ever since.

Originality is the key here. This is why they never got much airplay, and this is why they have a "cult" following. They are too good for mainstream radio that feeds us nothing but more of the same. They are too talented to be appreciated by those looking for one genre or another and are unwilling to expand their horizons. From moody and soft to hard driving and loud, this band covers it all, and they do it better than most artists out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My God...!, December 19, 1999

My jaw about hit the floor when I heard this disc. Sky Cries Mary (SCM) is obviously influenced by Pink Floyd (in terms of 8+ minute psychedelic jams)... and this one album I daresay matches some of the Floyd's best in terms of beauty and production. The last 2 instrumental tracks are just astonishing, and the vocal arrangements in all the other tracks are brilliant. This ranks as probably one of my top 20 albums of the 20th century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Psychedelic space rock at its best, February 17, 2005

What else can I say?

If you are into bands like Porcupine tree, and Pink Floyd you don't want to miss out on this band.

For any mood, "This Timeless Turning" travels from trippy, to mellow, to screaming loud, and then back again. The dreamy instramentals at the end of this cd are a fantastic touch.

They are back together, and are working on a live album and a new studio album. See what they are up to now at skycriesmary.com
