Press Reviews "If there is a band that would typify the category goth-industrial, it would be Houston's Bamboo Crisis." "Without a doubt, the band's latest album, Konspirosphere, is industrial. It is low on guitars, high on programming and samples. Mike Jensen, formerly of KMFDM, plays guitars on "Armageddon," easily the best track on the album, and fits well in the band's context. The dancey "Armageddon" seems a likely choice for a single and has already received airplay on college radio and in clubs." "The songs with faster bpm's, like "DNA" and "Violate," are better as dance tracks, while the slower numbers such as "Utopia" and "Outpost" are just fun. Overall, the album is a great pick-me-up, despite its dark posturing." -- Sande Chen houstonpress_com Local Rotation December 30, 1999 - January 5, 2000
