The ghost of cEvin's previous musical outlets...,
By "robynmh" (Richmond, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Of Each Room (Audio CD)
I can honestly say that I'm thoroughly enjoying cEvin Key's current musical direction. The Ghost of Each Room is more sonically varied than his debut solo, Music for Cats. We're given an array of jazzy numbers, synth-pop, industrial grunge, electronic chaos, drum and bass, and atmospheric soundscapes. It's all here. My personal hightlights off the album include: 15th Shade: a comedic light jazzy number with Edward KaSpel (of Legendary Pink Dots fame) on vocals. Edward's mysterious Euro-accented voice recites a little story over a funky jam session. It's quite unlike anything else on the album. Frozen Sky: a psychodramatic, dark, and haunting melody with the infamous Ogre on vocals - distorted of course. Much in the fashion of Skinny Puppy's final release "The Process", we hear chilling distorted electric guitars chords throughout the song. If Skinny Puppy still existed, this would have probably been a typical sound we'd expect to hear. I'm just relieved to know they've rekinded their friendship and are working together again. Aphasia: to be blunt, this might as well be an instrumental remix of Depeche Mode's "But Not Tonight". The synth-bass mimics DM's mode hit completely! This is possibly my favourite track off the album with a pure 80's synth-pop sound. The sound is refreshing and uplifting. There are many more tracks of course, but these are the few which have perked my interest. If you're tired of the same old stuff and are looking for something new and daring, give cEvin Key's The Ghost of Each Room a listen. You won't be disappointed!

not to reveal my age, but...,
By brigid o'shaughnessy (San Francisco, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Of Each Room (Audio CD)
i was seeing skinny puppy shows when they were still in seedy abandoned warehouses (if it rained we all feared electroshock, and not from the music). this cd doesn't bring all that back, but made me realize just how important cEvin Key is as a musician. So many industrialists are dismissed as "noisemakers", but this cd blends jazz, symphonic melodies, and a mixture of sounds that are the architecture of the overall song. there is no "noise" here, but instead a sensation of water slowing draining down the sink backwards. you just have to go with the flow.

Definetely the next logical step for mr. key,
By epsy (Turner, ME United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Of Each Room (Audio CD)
I have always liked Skinny Puppy but I never knew Cevin was capable of something this good. I would imagine that whether someone would enjoy this album or not depends completely on what they look for in the music they enjoy. It's the difference between people who enjoy hearing things sounds they havent heard before and enjoy the atmosphere of music above all else vs people who pass it off as noisy garbage. the album almost sounds like a skinny puppy and autechre doing a collab. Lots of very intricate layering of drum patterns and sounds mixed with a very eerie atmosphere.
