Press Reviews #04.44/2 (Songs from the Aurora Project) is a collection of five songs that you might find within an experimental film score or on a soundtrack to a Wim Wenders movie. Limiter is not an easily defined project. Limiter is Martin McCreadie, a vocalist and guitarist, whose true talent lies in his producing ability. McCreadie blends noise, experimentation, sampling, and other sounds into songs with lyrics that deal with emotions of basic human existence and emotions not within human understanding. If the description of Limiter’s music sounds a bit odd to you, my apologies. You should listen to Limiter to understand for yourself and travel the journey that McCreadie has created................................................................................................Jenn Garrison, ...........................................................................................................Columbia A&R, ......................................................................................KROX, KGSR DJ, Austin, TX .................................................................................................................................... The first time I listened to this CD I was extremely impressed by the musical skills of the band, as well as the mixing and production quality. The five songs on Songs From the Aurora Project defy easy categorization, combining diverse musical styles that range from darkwave to rock. Elements of gothic, industrial, and trip hop genres blend and merge into a unique sound that is instantly engaging and immensely enjoyable. Dark vocals and cerebral lyrics by Martin McCreadie complement the guitars (both electric and acoustic), bass, drums, and synthesized soundscapes of Limiter's songs. The biggest surprise to me was the fact that all the songs were conceived, written, performed, recorded, and produced by McCreadie himself, and the CD was self-released!The disc begins with the introspective, wistful strains of the song For Tomorrow, a melodic piece with piano lines, strong beats, and distorted guitar parts. Excellent mixing lends the song a rich, full sound that also incorporates gentle, almost gothic vocals. The second song, Around, features prominent flanged beats, more distorted guitar, and heavy vocal treatments. Cynical lyrics and menacing vocals convey a mood of resentment that helps make this an even more memorable song. When I Have Fears, the third song, opens with a slow bassline and trip hop beat structure, along with a swirling stew of disorienting, barely recognizable samples. These elements are joined by guitars, piano sounds, and smooth, deep vocals. Next on the album is Into the Night (Organic), a quiet piece with stripped-down instrumentals that easily demonstrates McCreadie's songwriting talent. Sad, emotional vocals float within layers of well-played acoustic guitar, very subdued beats, and ambient background sounds. Without being overly complicated or heavy-handed, the song speaks to the subconscious mind in a way that is intensely personal. The last song featured here, Progress (All We Know), is a powerful excursion into darkwave/industrial stylings powered by solid drum programming and sinister, filtered vocals. Synthesized noises and piano lines in a minor key contribute to the tone of the lyrics, warning us of the dangers created by human progress.Though I have been given albums by many local projects for airplay on my weekly show, Songs From the Aurora Project is one of the few that I thoroughly enjoy hearing. Martin McCreadie is not trying to fit into a specific genre or please a certain audience; instead, he creates songs that are real because they are true expressions of his own musical vision. This is a CD that I am proud to own and play for other people, and I look forward to hearing how Limiter will evolve with the support of a record label...............................................................................Mr. Fang, ................................................................................................Radio One, Austin, TX
