This is the new project from Jennifer Parkin of Epsilon Minus.
She does vocals on all the tracks, and the music on most of the tracks is done
by Shaun Frandsen of Glis, although the music on a few of the tracks are done
by other musicians, such as Iris, Massiv In Mensch, and DJ RAM.
I've been a big fan of Jennifer's work on Epsilon Minus, and she also did
some guest vocals for Implant. This is by far her best work to date.
Shaun does a great job on the music, consisting of mostly high tempo EBM,
although there are a few slower tracks. This has been one of my favorite CD's lately, and
I've been giving it lots of club play here in NYC. My personal favorite track is "Dos", it's
fast paced at about 140 bpm, its a great club track. "Start Again" is another track I like to play when I DJ.
Overall, I love the whole album.
The song "Horrible Dream" does get a little bit cheesy with the repetitive chorus, but even
that track gets catchy after hearing it a few times. Slower tracks like "The Radio"
, "Sapphire" and "Beta Complex" are really great and a nice change of pace from the EBM
tracks geared towards club play. It's nice that there's a lot of variety in this album, each song
has its own unique sound.
Jennifer Parkin has the most amazing voice
in the industrial scene. Not only that, but she's uber HOT. Seriously, how many good industrial / ebm
bands out there actually have a hot singer? Not too many at all. The music is really great regardless of her looks though.
Shaun is also a very talented musician, his work on Glis is great, and he did a great job on this album.
I do anticipate Ayria to be really popular in the near future, and in fact, this album has reached
the number 10 spot in the coveted German DAC charts.
