Review by Mickale a.k.a. Dizz: I find this band's combination of musical sounds very interesting and love the voice of the singer in all songs. Also with the exception of 'While Drifting' I found these songs to be more light then dark in feel, even though they were classified as 'Darkwave' by the artist. Even so, there was talent here and I hope these artist luck in any of their future ventures. I thought the guesture of leaving their music available to the general public even though the band it self is no more, was decent as well. ABOUT SONG#1: EYES THAT NEVER BLINK (VOCAL GROOVE) - Lots of voice samples & ambient feel. Love the synthesized waves of sound, kind reminds me of pooling water or something fluid like that. Drums have a kind of tribal feel, but they do not overpower any melodies presented, in fact they emphasize. The wide use of vocal sounds add interest and help keep the rhythm. Generally this song is short and sweet and easy to enjoy. I find this song more 'Tribal Ambient' than 'Dark' or 'Wave' though, but they made it so they get to name it. Allison with One classifies this song as 'Darkwave' and states it as a, "remix by UNKF". This song is 2.5MB to download, 2min. 43secs. to listen to. ABOUT SONG #2: HEAVEN - This is a pretty and VERY FULL song. By this I mean you will notice the difference in volume if you've been listening to their other two songs and you may need to turn it down to prevent hurting your ears. I really like this song but I can't help but really notice the use of reverb on everything. Otherwise the talent of this group shows, through use of synthesized sounds, outstanding vocals and a very well - pretty and airy portrayal of Heaven. Again I noticed that a couple choice synthesized waves went with the beat really well and helped keep the rhythm of this song. Generally a very nice song, and worth the listen. Allison with One classifies this song as 'Darkwave' and states, "shoegaze guitar over big beats" about this song. Credits:m.jeanes :: j.prpich :: b.meng. Label: Broken Sound, CD: Static Hum.

This doesn't happen very often with local bands so when it does I get excited. I can tell you this female singer has some voice. I think the combination the effects of her voice go very well with the ambient yet creepy synthesized atmospheric sounds surrounding her. Allison with One classifies this song as 'Darkwave'.
