Here's a very ambient disc with an industrial tinge. The production is clean, yet it has a seemingly small sound. The vocals, while mostly distorted, are somewhat buried in the mix. For all you Mac users, this is an enhanced cd, including the band's latest video. To get "Lost," send a check for $13. Check out the band's song, "The Riddle," on this issue's Hard Music Sampler CD.
