Press Reviews APOSTATES FAN MAIL...10/30/01....The following message was sent to you from a visitor to your page on MP3.com. MP3.com is not responsible for its content. ____________________________________________________________ "Black Sun" is one hell of an eerie song !!! It seems to have some sort of depressed taste or so, and man, I like that. There are so many bullshit bands on Mp3.com, lots of people call their songs "Darkwave"or even "Gothic", but they don't deserve that name ! For me darkwave, and being a goth is a life style, and it seems like it is the same for you, so there we have something in common. Yesterday me and my girlfriend went to the graveyard and took some photos, we had a relaxed feeling of rest on that holy ground, but we were also a bit nervous or excited, a lovely feeling, and when I heard this song of your's I almost felt the same. You really gave your music a soul ! A dark soul ! Now I wonder; how did you make your music? Did you use software besides the normal instruments ? You sure got some talent over there,man, so keep on producing songs ! Could you tell me when you upload some more songs, 'cause I really wanna hear more of you !! Cheers! From your newest fan, Jeroen
