Albums 'effortlessly beautiful' - 4-track CD

Press Reviews Rant'nRave, 15th of April '99: (7/10): (...)Their sound harks back to the early-to-mid 80s UK synth-pop new wave, like Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Alphaville, and even Book Of Love and Yazoo. The Vince Clarke influence is apparent from the start, but with a more ethereal aura. Think Erasure meets the Cocteau Twins. The duo is off to a strong start with the opener,"Rain In The Fall", a beautifully written song,simple, yet full of atmosphere.(...) I feel their lyrics are poetic, that they fit the moods of the songs. I like the way their two voices harmonize and intertwine around eachother, and considering this is really a 4-song demo, it's a fairly strong statement, proving that Moonbeam has much potential. They're another act to put in my ever-growing list of cool Scandinavian bands, and they could do well asthey evoke the great sound of the 80s, but with afreshness of today's bands, and a personality of their very own. -Larry Davis
