"This recording by Vox One is simply marvelous. I love the syncopated rhythms and unusual chord sequences. The singing is tight and precise, and only the first and last tracks use vocal effects to supplement the singing. "Over the Rainbow" is my favorite recording, a wonderful a cappella twist on the old standard. If you love a cappella music you'll love this album."
Amazing

"This is both a complex and warm album. Vox On is considered one of the best a cappella groups in the world by those who know this type of music, and this record proves it. The lame review below was clearly from someone who doesn't have the ears to get this group or this type of music. Don't go by this person's obvious chip on the shoulder over what "jazz" is. Vox One isn't trying to copy other groups or perform in the traditional "vocal jazz" style, which I find refreshing. I've seen Vox One live several times and I can tell you they and they are just as amazing live as they are in their recordings. All of their records are equally complex and emotional (in my opinion), and their arrangements are truly groundbreaking. Highly recommended."
Ground-Breaking!

"I've had this album for more than 2 years now and since then I've purchased over 300 more a cappella CDs and I have to admit that only a few of them come even close to what VOX ONE accomplished during their time together! Infact IMHO, they are the ONLY group to my knowledge that used highly complex and unusual chord structures in all of their arrangements. "Chameleon" is a VERY sophisticated album and upon repeated listening, you will realise how intricate and sensible the harmonies are. Obviously the lone person who gave this album a rating of one star, missed the whole point. Please disregard and ignore that rating review as it was TOTALLY unfair and biased. If you are intrigued by what is possible with just the human voice, and are up to listening to ground-breaking a cappella, THIS is the album to get. I PROMISE you won't be disappointed with this one. Infact, I highly recommend their other 3 albums as well...simply incredible and outstanding performances! A cappella recordings and groups of this calibre come VERY rarely!"
Great

"I've been a fan of Vox One since my high school days when my vocal jazz group did songs like "Morning" (from Out There) and "Danny Boy". We had the pleasure of working personally with Yumiko Matsuoka who fined tuned our version of Danny Boy for us! Excellent group. So sad they are no longer around, but I would recommend this to any a capella fan, student or teacher. They are certainly an example to take."
