    Press Reviews
    Ventilator Desert Station Frequency Biotasonics......I wasn't prepared for singer Chrisopher Blue. What came to mind was Jim Morrison,Bono,Jim Kerr. I suggest you go see him....Don A. Wright LA Metro News..... It is not often that a CD comes my way that defies description or classification. However, "Desert Station Frequency" did exactly that. This album, a remarkable mix of rock, blues, and industrial sound effects, constantly surprises and intrigues. Its mood varies from dark and foreboding to full of redemption and clarity. The song writing is superb, and mixed with great production and musicianship, it packs a punch you'll feel long after the last note fades. The first track that stood out was a spoken word piece called "Blueblackhours". It is an earnest, meditative spew on the happenings during nighttime hours. The vocalist-turned-beat-poet espouses on how the midnight hours can foster deep and truthful thinking. In his estimation, the are stages we go through in the night- soul sacrifice, reclamation and finally, reality. In the background, as he speaks, distorted voices echo his thoughts. This gives his thoughts even more solidity in the listener's mind. Gritty and poignant, "I Swear" is another high point of the record. Part love song, part admission of flaws, this particular track engrosses the listener. It is capable of immediately transporting the listener to a past hurt, buried and nearly forgotten. Visceral yet ethereal, "Desert Station Frequency" succeeds in doing what few bands do- masterfully uniting many different sounds and feels to produce a consummate work of audio art.
