Press Reviews
http://undergroundrecords.org by Todd West
Spinning psychedelic textures of sound, Carol Blaze uses thick guitars, steady syncopated beats,
gothic phrasing & vocals somewhat reminding of early Sisters Of Mercy, but much more underground.
It's easy to get lost in the layers of feedback, sound samples and moving bottom end. "Beyond"
is a glimpse into a dark chasm of rolling subsonic bass, accented by the fuzz of guitars and the
big reverb painting everything with ambience. "Carol Blaze (my mind is going)" is a scary
character of early funk meets Joy Division, with a harder hitting mix than some of the others.
Take the dark urban theme of "This Never Ends", with sparse clean vocal and shotgun snare.
Like a morning ride into the witch's circle! On some of this stuff I could swear I hear U2
in the background, and I'm not talking samples. "After Great Pain" is still another side to
this wild voyage, you can hear tribal influence and americana all in one. Far out & cool!

Well , this is a different CD , it could be used easily as
the soundtrack to a horror movie . What I mean is , the mood
is dark and eerie as the songs have a very dark overtone .
Some of the songs would fit nicely into the background of a
good horror , maybe even sci-fi flick . It is a strange
look into what must be a complex mind of A T Vish .
The dark and mysterious inter twining of sounds , vocals and background feels all add to be part of a work in progress which will be titled "Soundscapes for Aliens" . The music of A T Vish which started as a soundtrack for a fictional character to be named "Carol Blaze" , has feeling , depth , and intrigue . From the beginning it seems to be trying to grab at your soul and rip it out . The music , that started as the character sounds , has grown into a band that seems to be getting pretty good press .
I was wrapped up in it's sincerity and depth from the get go , I can tell you however , this music is not the style you would want to listen to if you were depressed . The sounds and blending of music and voice would bring even the happiest of people down at times . It does stand up on it's own merit , and some of the music has already been added as the soundtrack of an indie film "David" by Odie McConnell , and to be added to another film being produced by Jennifer Perez titled "The Space Between Dreams" .
As a total project , keeping in mind the concept , the CD IntroMonius is a good start to a career that will go past the soundtrack stage and into the music collections of all who like their music dark , goth , and plain eerie . I recommend this project , but not for all ! Great start . |
