Press Reviews
At one time or another, the world at large has said.. "Anything Box...is a lucsious swirl of electronic sound and multi-dimensional vocalising. Candles and strobe lights are not a requirement for listening but may enhance the pulsating noise. It’s pretty. It’s mental journey music..." --Darryl Searle, Meanstreet "Anything Box is primed for success..." --Mike Bohm, The Los Angeles Times "The name comes from a short story about a little girl who has a box, one in which she can see a perfect world...The story has an optimistic message about life and the world we live in...The same can be said of the group (Anything Box) which is the story’s namesake. Sunday night, they overwhelmed an audience of more than 6,000 people in Juarez, Mexico. The band’s music make fans feel as if they just made some really close friends. Like the little girl in the short story, someone who does not have an Anything Box will be left to live all alone in this cold, cruel world..." --Robert C. Hensley, The Prospector "The penltimate in ‘pretty’ music combined with serious lyrics..." --John Griffiths, DMA "When I was in Argentina, Anything Box was all they talked about... They are so popular in South America!" --Tony Martinez, WEA "One of the finest hours in alternative dance music during 1990 was delivered by Anything Box..." --Larry Flick, Billboard "An act that diserves quite a bit more attention and recognition is Anything Box... The outfit masks a Euro-inflected dance/pop sensibility..." --Bill Coleman, Billboard "Never have I seen a band treat an audience better. The crowd was constantly encouraged to sing along with some of the more popular songs... All of the songs were upbeat and managed to work the crowd into a frenzy..." --Ruth Gifford, The Reporter "Anything Box...has achieved massive success at CHR radio as well as Alternative radio and clubs. This success at crossover will continue as the music defies strict categorization..." --HITS "Anything Box have shown a general evolution from their first through to the present..." --RR, SPR "Elektrodelica...a sprawling, multifarious pileup of an album, part Polyrock and part Krautrock, with some of the loveliest and most cunningly arranged pop music around today..." --The Village Voice (NY) "I would label the music as pure Pop Electronica...just what the Electronica scene needs to survive, catchy pop songs..." --Interface Magazine "Anything Box is my most favorite band in the world..." --A Fan. |
