"What a steller album. Cosmic ally is one of those bright fresh trance/synthpop albums that are a delight to listen to from the first track on. There are no boring tracks on this album. The album is almost 74 minutes long and features 10 fabulous dance/trance tracks plus 3 remixes by the likes of nevarakka, cistrans, and sheletershed. Now here is the not too evident surprise. Most of the songs are in Korean. The nature of the music is such that you enjoy the music so much that the lyrics being in Korean isn't an issue. Todd Durrant @ a different drum has another hit album on his roster of greats. (as if there was any doubt). So pick this gem of a cd up and enjoy. If I had to pick a comparison, I would say this is kind of like ATB, or Sash.

"I have a pretty eclectic taste in music. Growing up in the 80's I developed a taste for melodic synthpop and as we all know that genre faded and is now mostly just haunting the shadowy basement of the music industry. Thanks to the Different Drum label, I've been able to find some EXCELLENT albums from synthpop bands I've never heard of or even knew existed. This CD by Cosmic Ally is more trance/electronica than synthpop but I love it. It is just a blast to listen to. Yes, it's all in Korean and for me that is part of the charm. I just wish I knew if Cosmic Ally was really the name of the 'band' that made this. I have to wonder if it was renamed before coming overseas. I'd love to find out if this girl has released anything else because I'd pick it up in a second. Great CD."
Stands up well

"Even four years after release, it sounds fresh and imaginative. I just got it a month ago, and it's wearing out my player. Wonderful melodies, tight rhythms, good mixes, and surreal vocals. Who is she anyway? I'd buy anything from her in a minute, NQA."
