Very good

(4 out of 5 stars)

"EOE could be the strangest rock band on earth, consisting of Eraldo Bernocchi (guitars, samples), Bill Laswell (basses) and Mick Harris (drums). "Veve" is one of the best records either artist has done. I wouldn't place it on a par with Scorn's masterpiece "Evanescence", because it lacks diversity in sound, but it is far preferable to Mick's and Bill's later-era solo recordings. The overall sound is dark, powerful and distorted, thanks to Mick's slow but harsh drum beats and Bill's croaking deep-sea basslines. But sometimes EOE manage it to sound even a *bit* friendly, particularly on "Aether" with its beautiful synth samples. All in all, "Veve" is a surprisingly accessible album and provides a true listening adventure."

This album would make clive barker proud

"One Of my favoritz. Not mick harris (scorn, napalm death) or eraldo bernochi (simm, sigillum s, charged, almamegretta) could come up with the absolute cronic by them selves, see total station & overload lady good albums but dont have this kind of fire, but with laswell on bass/production those tracks lite right on fire. Its pretty much industrial dub, electronic drums with verry dark halloweenish sound and percussion and dub style bass laswell styling. This is way better than the first equations of eternity and loads better than the charged album. If you even like scorn, simm or sigillum s this will be your new favorite cd. perfect for latenight chilling or halloween party jamming."
