PRAISE FOR AUDIOVILE :
"Aurally stunning and memorable..."
-- Horror World"...a performance-art piece of manic Beatnik horror. For the majority of the CD's sixteen tracks, Arnzen assumes a frenzied persona that blends elements of Alan Ginsberg, Henry Rollins, and Patrick Bateman to deliver simultaneously horrifying and humorous short stories."
-- Dead Reckonings"Arnzen's Audiovile will disturb and entertain you for more reasons than the obvious...and because these pieces are based on the works of Mike Arnzen, there's also a lot of simple, weird fun to be had, as well, and the musicianship displayed throughout is flawless. A genuine one-of-kind recording."
-- Gary A. Braunbeck, author of Mr. Hands"The brilliance of these tales -- amplified by Arnzen's pitch perfect delivery -- is that within the space of a couple of minutes, each one sets a grin on your face, then slaps it off, then kicks you in the groin and leaves you gasping (but still laughing), "That isn't right! That's just plain WRONG!"
-- FearZone"For anyone who has ever heard it said that horror is not an art form, Arnzen fires back with the proverbial 'up yours,' making himself out to be a twisted Ginsberg for the horror fan, Kerouac for the demented, and a Dylan Thomas for those of us with a dark sense of humor. And no, I'm not exaggerating....what you have is something that listeners will be playing for their friends, prefaced by lines like 'You have to hear this!' and 'This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard!'
-- Dread Central"[Arnzen is] The Morrison of the Macabre...Audiovile is an unexpected pleasure. Put this in your iPod and smoke it!"
