"OK, This is not Industrial Music, but it’s just so good! Smooth Music for the soul. Reminds me of the early years at 4AD. Don’t make a mistake, sign this band! - Peter Madril, Industrieality
Harvest, ranked 14 on Azreal’s Top 20 Gothic & Industrial Noyse List @ KCMU 90.3 FM"A passionate, dreamy album that has become fully integrated into my heart. It is now one of my top 5 albums *ever*."The 8 tracks and 45 minutes of Ars Poetica go by in a flash, concluding with two ambient sound collages. It’s almost as if the passion of the earlier tracks was finally overwhelmed by the hurricane against which it struggled. With the vocals swept out to sea, Ars Poetica closes with a sound evocative of twinkling stars, scuttling crabs and seaweed strewn across the beach."The album is gorgeous. Woody at C’est La Mort recommended it and acquired it for me. He described it as Area with a bigger production budget. *I* describe it as Love Spirals Downwards vectored in the direction of Rose Chronicles. And I think Stephanie Wicker, the lead singer, has a better voice than either chanteuse of the aforementioned bands."The album closes with two ambient sound collages of which I didn’t think much at first, but now I accept and enjoy them as a fitting conclusion. I was worried that the CD would wear thin on me, but it still gives me chills when I hear Stephanie Wicker’s voice calling on the first track, appropriately entitled, "Trap". - Ectophiles’ Guide
