CD Reviews

An excellent work! Breath of fresh air
Chris Ochman | Stafford, VA | 07/23/2004

"I picked up this album at my CD store, and I expected the normal industrial sound, with the droning male monotone singing. Don't get me wrong, I love industrial for all it is, but it gets monotonous after awhile!



So I started to listen, and behold, it's a woman singing. Amazing! I bought the CD based solely upon that.



I listened to it, and it's amazing. THe first 2 songs are my favorite, Water to the Dead, and 16 Miles. I was very impressed, and now I come here to Amazon, and find they have ANOTHER album out. Which I am going to buy very soon.



*grins*



The first few songs start out with heavy industrial sound, and then they change to more of a sound like, lets see, I would compare them to INKUBUS SUKKUBUS. They have that kind of sound, which I enjoy a lot.



The latter half of the CD are slower songs, with an explosion of Hurricane, which is amazing in itself. But then the excitement dies after that, ending the CD with the eeriely beautiful song, enchanting Stranger.



I would recommend this to anyone who wants a change in the industrial scene, even though, I'm not quite sure I'd classify it as industrial.



Enjoy."
Oh, this is just lovely.

"This band kind of reminds me of a baby Collide - a younger and more underground version of that band's gothic and industrial fusion with powerful female vocals and a strong sense of spirituality and mysticism. What makes Ego Likeness stand out is the earnestness of their lyrics and delivery, and the Southern-tinged storytelling theme of the album. While they can be a bit overwrought at times, this music is beautiful, energising, and worth playing in many different settings. I greatly look forward to their next album. My favourite tracks include the title cut, "Mandala", "Hurricane", and "Wolves"."
A conceptually original and vocally satisfying CD

"The songs are a delectable mix of rock,celtic,folk,and modern alternative(e.g. Depeche Mode). The singer's voice is powerful-very 80's rock with a healthy amount of vibrato. The lyrics and theme are nothing like anything else I've seen. This album will be wonderful for those who have a keen appreciation for vocal and stylistic prowess, and those who are up for the unexpected."
