This South African rock worship team were due to play the Cross Rhythms festival 2000 before being launched on the international scene by Forefront Records. Consequently this is an excellently produced and well honed futuristic sounding pop most distinctly memorable for some ingeniously inventive fuzzy and echoing guitars and a confidently promising lead vocal in Adrienne Liesching. Slightly discordant rock, esoteric guitars on "Lay It Down" and the trance-like dance beat of "Nightglow" means the band rarely shift gears, but with a curious mixture of influences ranging from Garbage, The Cranberries and U2 they possess a professional coolness marked for success.
