Press Reviews *****"The duo from Texas show strong pop sensibilities, without ever losing their indie edge. For those of you just striking out into the underground electronic rock music scene, imagine a mix of the Eurythmics on steroids, Garbage's nineties rock sound and the beat heavy funky side of Information Society." Andy Waggoner Interface Issue #10 *****"Dense electronica that is altogether dark, danceable, loud, listenable and probably more intelligent than the audience it's geared towards. Awesome and underrated." Buzzmonger Magazine *****"Techno dance music that reminds me of Republica as well as Annie Lenox. This Texas duo writes some excellent tunes, and the instrumentation is way above average for dance music. These folks must be doing something right, because this music makes me want to dance. Bright, upbeat, catchy, and energized." Don W. Seven Babysue ReviewIssue #24 ***** "Eurythmics go synthcore. The instrumental tracks grind pretty hard, but in place of the snarled/spoken male vocal that you'd expect in this genre, you get an impassioned female singer. Cat Hall's vocals are processed, but not so much that it obscures her nuances. A fair quotient of spiffy electronic effects, too --"Jim Aikin Keyboard Magazine July, 1997 ***** "The moment I popped this cd into my stereo, I was transported to First Ave.'s Danceteria. The multi-layering of synthesized sound creates a pulsing, yet melodic wall-o-sound that could very well compel one to shake one's groove thing. Lead vocalist Cat Hall's voice is laid down like a half-n-half saturated swatch of velvet across a sizzling circuit board. No boundaries broken, no senses offended- just a glossy symbiosis of electronics and humanity. If you're into this genre, get your paws on this cd and...Dance! Dammit! Dance!"Michael LessingCAKE CollectionIssue #39, Falling, 1995CAKE Publications, Inc. *****" This rocks!! I like this sound a lot--it's like a cross between Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, and for some strange reason, a hint of Pet Shop Boys- but with better vocals. I like the blend between NIN-ish sounds, yet with a Pop flair.-djdon *****Reviewer: Nicole Harrington,Milpitas, CA USA "I can't play this CD too much. Dissonance has now become one of my favorite CD's of all time. Cat Hall's voice is stunning and the synthwork and layouts are wonderfull. Buy it, you will love it. I only wish they would put out another!"
