The Flesh - "So completely 'on it'...Soultastic performance in the
vocals, extraordinary synth operatics, rim-shot drums and the
jitters...Cheesy they ain't, morbid they may be, but they're not
bothered about pleasing anybody but themselves." -ARTROCKER UK

"We do put our antennae up for buzz and we hear one about singer-
guitarist Nathan Halpern and his three good-looking mates in The
Flesh...they mix darkness with danceability." -THE BOSTON GLOBE

Shinma - FLUSH (2002) on "Best of 1999-2002"


With titles like "Ghost Within a Whisper," Druids
Rising," "Accidental Reality," and "Doubting The
Concept Of Reality,' it should be obvious where the
heart of Shinma (Ken Van Hoose in the studio, ably
assisted by various musicians in the live setting) lies.
Well, maybe not... Shinma's music is the type that you'd
expect to hear as the soundtrack to some of those
ultra-violent anime movies. Much of the sampled
dialogue, in fact would appear to come from films and
song titles like "The Noh Agents," "Slayer Kid," and
"Kabuki Girl" virtually screams "Anime!" The thematic
threads that run through the ten songs (and the four
"segues" of dialogue) are of a haunting hopelessness
and despair amidst the violent turmoil of a dim future
just beyond the threshold of tomorrow. Now, that's
just my fancy way of saying that this collection can sit
comfortably between your Marilyn Manson albums and
your "VAMPIRE WARS" DVDs. A quirky, post-modern
soundtrack for your next Doomsday Party.

Playback (August 2003) on "Mechanical Dreams"


These four tracks do, indeed, sample lines from DJ's and
spoken word. The music is heavy industrial dance; the
only vocals are the sampled lines incorporated into the
dark techno sound.
