Gothic Beauty Band of the Year award
The FCC Song
In unrelated Collide news, here is a great song by Monty Python's Eric Idle..."The FCC Song" "Here's a little song I wrote the other day while I was out duck hunting with a judge. It's a new song, it's dedicated to the FCC, and if they broadcast it, it will cost a quarter of a million dollars."
Jane Magazine
Look for a review of Vortex in the June/July issue of Jane Magazine. Here is the review...
" Collide's latest venture into gothic darkwave, Vortex, is a two-disk collection of decadent aesthetic brilliance. Vortex has tracks to please every dark-minded eccentric out there. With trippy vocals from the stunning kaRIN and twisty musical mixes from mysterious hottie Statik, this band always brightens my nightmares. Boo "

t's off to a great start. We are featured in this months current issue of Sideline Magazine. (thanks Seba)
Vortex debuted at #1 this week on www.TheHMD.com
And here are a few words from Gordon Taylor of Infectious Unease Radio... "First all I would like to say this is one the best remix albums I have ever come across. It's just brillant and I love every track on both cds. Very impressive, I will be playing it throught the weeks and months to come. Once again a very big thank you for giving me the pleasure to play Vortex. Kind regards and best wishes"
