Press Reviews Extreme Music From Women CD review by Robert BeveridgeVARIOUS ARTISTS - EXTREME MUSIC FROM WOMEN (SLCD023)Aside from those, the real highlights of the disc are* Karen Thomas with a thick, murky stew of low-end electronics that's markedly different from Lockweld's material ++++++ Extreme Music From Women extended CD review by Creaig Dunton VARIOUS ARTISTS - EXTREME MUSIC FROM WOMEN SLCD023 Lockweld's Karen Thomas contributes "Puritan", two minutes of wonderful harsh power electronics, just enough distortion to be loud, but not so much as to sound like crap.
