"INDIE PICK OF THE MONTH"
"Fine musical craftsmanship exalted by harmonic rhapsody.
An intriguing blend of vocal precision and unidirectional
storytelling."
Independent
Songwriter Magazine
". . .
made me want to shout for more."
NAPRA Review
"bewitching"
"All those notions of white robes, wings and gold harps will be
blown to smithereens . . ."
Coast Weekly
"If
you imagine the Angel's 'Dream' CD falls into the
Windham Hill-ish category of sleepy harp recordings,
guess again. Electric Angel wings its way from Dave
Brubeck's 'Blue Rondo a la Turk' all the way up to
Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground' . . . all three
angels capitalize on their vocal skills to create
richly layered, soaring harmonies that will make you
glad you took the time to check out this independent
release."
Quarter Notes
"The electric harps of Electric Angel create a
unique sound that is surprisingly versatile and journeys beyond
simple ear candy. The strength of Dream is the way Electric
Angel's instrumental tunes borrow familiar elements from other
musical styles to supply a broad range for their harps to cover.
"Caramar" evokes Pachelbel's "Canon in D" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk"
takes a jazz standard and tweaks it with the infusion of the
electric harps. Most of the songs on this album suggest a
mental journey. The haunting composition of "On Wings of a
Dream" is like walking through a forest at night. It lets the
mind take over while surprising you with unexpected twists and
turns, such as vocal soundings or "vocalese." The electric
sitar is the guide while the percussion creates a pace that
unexpectedly (but comfortably) changes. ...Their Celtic cover
of "Higher Ground" is a relaxing groove. The "wah wah" from
the electric harps is a truly original sound. The somewhat
slow pace of this cover shows that these ladies understand their
instruments. Instead of forcing their instruments, they urge
the song to slow down and it works. ...Electric Angel's Dream
provides a solid performance that is consistently pleasant."
