some reviews...
Gary Williams - Sandman Magazine - page 49 / issue 124 / october 2006 - reviewing Tripping / Messi 2 track demo
Citing influences such as Depeche Mode, Martin Hannet and Tubeway Army, and listing an abundance of instruments used in the recording that include a number of synths and drum machines, you would be foolish if you thought that this two track CD would sound like anything other than 80's synth pop... Opening track "Tripping" suprisingly has a real modern dance intro, until the vocals ease in and immediately you are reminded of 80's icons such as Almond, Oakey and Numan. whilst the songs never break into an uptempo pace, they certainly can't be classed as chill out music, and for those of you who like a nice slice of 80's pop from time to time, this CD is an enjoyable affair. That said, iddod do manage to bring a contemporary feel to their music and the song's aren't long enough to become tedious. This music might not be for everyone, but it certainly appealed to me.
Eraser, (the Erasure tribute band) had this to say about a couple of the iddod CD's (Drones 14 tracks & Still Hertz 4 tracks)...
"well we put them on in the van on the way home and listened in silence, spellbound by the excellent arrangements, playing and vocals, we both loved it... right up our street musically. Other than the obvious VC (vince clark) and Numan influences, Stew detected a bit of John Foxx? And the excellent fretless bass on snugs has to be in honour of Mick Karn? Highlight for me in an album of highlights : Photographic - superb song, stunning arrangement and enchanting vocals. eraser star rating : A++ they're ace!"
please note: any comments left with large images will be deleted, don't mind you promoting your own stuff, but leave it out with the big pics already! All comments are vetted before been approved...
if anybody would like to review any of our material then please feel free to do so, if you could send us a copy of the review, good, bad or indifferent, then that would be cool...
if anybody would like a CD mailing then please get in touch with a mailing address, we will be happy to send you one...
if any small labels out there are interested in using any of our material on a compilation, or indeed see further potential, please contact us... we are quite happi with our current process of giving discs away, but the entire operation takes money, so if anyone would like to help me clear my credit card bills then i ain't gonna argue...
thank you to anyone taking the time to listen... we don't do this for you of course, we do it for ourselves, but you're the icing on the cake, thank you :-)

don't forget to check out main site site for more songs, lyrics, recording processes etc
oh yeah, anybody wanna badge? leave a comment requesting one and we'll get right on it... :-)

now stop reading and click on another song!!
