Paris by Night
Dawning
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Jeanine Acquart's vocals wrap around this music that plods along at a melancholy pace, kinda like lounge music with 60's bands. Some of her tunes, like the striking title track, "Dawning," have a gothic-like and gripping presentation. Most of the other material, I find, seems to move too slowly or in the same jazzy/60's pop vibe. I'd like to hear this music live for a deeper appreciation. To order, send $12 to: Seraph, PO Box 13110, Chicago IL 60613-3110

HM Magazine #72Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovernClassified as a "Dark rock band," Paris by Night is right up the alley of the gothic scene, with a nice blend of a beautiful cello, acoustic and electric guitar, and passionate female voice. Some of the mellow electric may remind you of the surf guitar tones on Starflyer's Americana, while much of the acoustic has a Spanish flair. Still, other parts, like "His Smile," has sort of a 007 vibe. All…Also in HM Magazine #77
