5.0 out of 5 stars "Wacko Magneto" is the best album that no one knows about!, September 3, 1998

This review is from: Wacko Magneto (Audio CD)

I came across this band's song "Stop Counting" while watching a recent episode of MTV's "Daria." I was blown away by the haunting guitar riffs and the hint of Chrissy Hind in the Anne Preven's powerful voice (Anne--I can't be the only one who's said that).

The entire album " Wacko Magneto" simply rocks. Ednaswap mixes 70's rock, 80's punk and 90's alternative to create a unique but familar sound that is hard-edged and gritty.

Much to my joy and surprise, Ednaswap originally wrote and sang that Natalie Imbruglio hit, "Torn." Compared to the airy, soft-rock/pop version that Imbruglio did, Ednaswap's version is raw, honest and earnest. You have to hear this version--there is no comparison.

I highly recommend this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't matter how you got here..., December 20, 1998

Were you curious about those obscure references to the original writers of Natalie's "Torn"? Well, glad you could make it finally...there's more where that came from. And better. The raw power of Anne's vocals quite simply blew me away the first time I heard this album. Pick up the latest album, "Wonderland Park" also to get the full Ednaswap picture. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Classic. MUST HAVE, April 9, 2000

This review is from: Wacko Magneto (Audio CD)

These guys are famous for writing "Torn" (which Natalie Imbublia had a hit with), but "Torn" is just the tip of the iceberg. Ednaswap actually broke up, but the core of that band, Anne and Scott, formed a new band called Annetenna.
