"Fabulous CD with an interesting mix of Brazilian and Techno sounds. I will also recommend the album "Flying Away". The singer's voice is absolutely charming and it just creates the right mood for an evening with your lover."
Fantabulous!

"Certainly...one of the sweetest...sensuous little grooves we've heard in quite a spell. Reminisent to Morcheeba/Massive Attack/Portishead sounds. Found it on the 'Chill Out' compilation CD...Which by the way...is absolutely delicious!"
Incredible mix of vocals and music.

"I've discovered this band through their European hit Underwater Love, which was on the Ladykillers 2 compilation CD. It should just be a matter of time until they are 'discovered' in the United States. They masterfully blend Nina Miranda's sultry vocals with heavy rhythmic percussion, bass, and keyboards. This is no one hit wonder. You'll find yourself listening to this CD all day long. Flying Away is a must have CD, but since it is an import and is harder to track down, you can content yourself with this until you find it."
Continuing in the vein of Portishead, this band delivers.

"I listened to them on a compilation CD, and I knew I had found that "new band". Their smooth, smoky sounds will remind you of Portishead, but there not as blue, making them more listenable and they retain a freshness and originality that Morcheeba didn't quite capture on their debut album. If you like the media dubbed genre "trip-hop", then Smoke City is the band that delivers and continues in the vein which Portishead started but didn't quite follow through on in their second album. I know it's only a single, but I have that feeling you'll hear more from these guys real soon. Highly recommended."
