A lovely mix of electronic beats and warm acoustics.

"Combining cool, crisp electronic beats with warm, gorgeous viola and other acoustic instruments, Talk Demonic's "Beat Romantic" finds a happy medium between music old and new. Make no mistake, though -- the viola's the star here, haunting and lovely, and when it takes a back seat to the otherwise fine electronic elements, the album suffers. Thankfully, such occasions are rare, and the resulting music is dreamy, contemplative, and perfect company in the small hours of the morning."

"Need I say more? I'm not a music reviewer so I can't be very detailed but these musicians are dynamic and thrilling and put on a great live show too. Modern sounds, drums and synths mixed with the viola and other classical stringed instruments. Great background music for "special time" with your beloved. Purrrrr. I heart Talkdemonic."
