This
band sounds a lot like Battery.
So much in fact that if I heard their music in a club that’s exactly
who I would think they were. This is mainly due to the fact that Martha
M. Arce has a similar voice and singing style to Maria of
Battery.
The music in the songs offered
here feature extremely layered electronic programming, beautiful keyboard
melodies, guitar and solid drum beats. It plays at a somewhat medium
pace where it’s just fast enough to hold your interest. It also features
an enchanting and melodic edge to it that could be compared to the music
of Delerium.
As with most bands that create
this style of music, there’s a mixture of mellow songs as well as faster
paced tracks that could work on the dance floor. Overall this CD mixes
EBM with darkwave. So while it’s electronic, it’s also rather dark and
gothic.
My main complaint here is that
most of the songs sound very much alike. There’s not a lot of variety
throughout the CD. Also, this band doesn’t really do anything new or
different. While listening to this CD I couldn’t help but feel that
I’ve heard it all before. But I will admit that it’s a quality release
with a clean sound to it. If you enjoy melodic dark electronic music
with female vocals, you will like this album.
