"Never
clumsy enough to be mistaken for simple hard rock, never bland enough
to please those that seek the new age as a refuge from the difficult, it
is an invitation to let go, to ride the hallucination bare back, to get
fierce, to go crazy...a LOT to discover here."

"At
the first hearing, it is clear why the duo experiments with heavy water
(D2O). Their pictorial band name describes the unusual sound perfectly.
The music is thick yet light, with brutal guitar riffs, bass lines--and
heavy rock rhythms are associated with hypnotic vocals and psychedelic
guitars and keyboard sounds. The songs are reminiscent of Pink Floyd,
Alan Parsons, The Beatles, but also the heavier rock of Black Sabbath.
Melbye has a beautiful voice, screaming or crying, but never
compromising the rough edges of the musical accompaniment, which makes
for a fascinating sound...the idea of Syd and Iommi in perfect cosmic
union is a nice one...drums, vocals and 8-string-bass/electric guitar
divided up in unexpected and possibly physically improbable ways."Folk World (www.folkworld.eu)
