These words from Scott, who bought Some Kind of Strange and then e-mailed us were so good we just had to share...
" The album is AMAZING. Talk about spellbinding... this album is in the realm where the music surpasses its creation. The vocals in combination with the music is like wet sex... its like really good chocolate... its like walking on the beach... the stars aligned... its like magic fingers.... I cant quite come up with the exact metaphor... its an accumulation of metaphors."

KSCU features COLLIDE
Tonight from 9-9:45pm feel free to tune in over the internet. Here is a review from the station as well. Thanks E.O.
kaRIN & Statik are back with their new release, which was 3 years in the making. Well worth the wait, too. Collide's music just keeps getting more and more intricate and intense. Layer upon layer of sound mixes with kaRIN's voice, which always sends chills down my spine when I hear it. She has got to have one of the sexiest voices I have ever heard. Add the incredible production by Statik, and you have one of the most distinctive sounding releases so far this year. Some stellar guest stars on this new CD as well, including cEvin Key from Skinny Puppy, and Danny Carey from Tool.

1st Some Kind of Strange review online
Thanks to Russell Elliot/Musical Discoveries
Here is a brief expert, check out the full review here.

Some Kind of Strange


We haven't posted in a while because we've been busy! All is done for the new CD, except for mastering which is set for next week. There are eleven songs, and the running time is almost an hour. During the past week we were able to finish up the last song, "somewhere", with Danny Carey from Tool playing drums. We've moved the release date to April 22nd, (which co-insides with Earth Day), to allow for us time to get copies out to press, etc. We're going to be doing a bit of updating on the web site in the coming weeks so check back. Our cover photo and artwork were done by Chad Michael Ward,.
We'd also like to thank some of our other friends who played on the CD...
cEvin Key, of Skinny Puppy
Kevin Kipnis of Purr Machine
Rogerio Silva
Underground artist, X-8
