Press Reviews "...The effect is surreal, like a canoe ride through frozen waters on a winter's moonlit night. "When Will It End?" is the standout vocal song with an intense crunch in the percussion, but "Feathered" equally excels as an instrumental bathed in frozen steam. "Mercy," the title song, has a nice rhythm and blues beat. Despite the industrial and dark ambient stylings, there is melody in the vocal songs. The entire album succeeds remarkably, and it's a very unique work you should investigate. I'm very glad I received this in time to make my Best of 1998 list." -- David Hassell, Wind and Wire "Falling You takes dark ethereal sound and creates a world devoid of light but not of innocence. It is entrancing work that pulls us through the glass darkly until we come out upon the other side, where muselike creativity envelopes the listener to play with the many shadows against the wall." -- Mike Ventarola, Hidden Sanctuary
