Press Reviews " . . . intense and edgy. . . . This is one that cannot be missed, especially for those who love and fear the dark!" --Kimberly Schedel, Inside Connection, September 2001 "Karen Michalson, the untamable voice behind Point Of Ares, delivers a wild performance that is sparklingly dark - a sort of premonition-filled sonic reverberation that often accompanies the exploding nightmares - molds the stories and creates pulsating hallucinatory images that lead you into the blissful abyss. Art Rock from the darkness." --Stavros Moschopoulos, FAO CASA, April 1999 ". . . beautiful, enigmatic . . . . leading the listener to a private world of beautiful fervency where dragons dance and the sensitive, forgotten intricacies of the soul are discovered. Taking on the passions, dreams, and hatred of many different characters throughout the CD, Karen's soft, feminine voice flows over music caressed by a beautiful, passionate darkness. . . . this one not to miss!! A very well-executed release." --Michelle Baker, The Perpetual Nightmare, March/April 1999
