Reviews (local and International)
"..they may just be
making the most important sound of 2002. An
enchanting patchwork of ethereal harmony, unabashed gothic melody, and
a cerebral songwriting swagger, 'The Ironman' is simply stunning. A
thoroughly unique work of art from start to finish, a casual aural
menace captivates Jordan Reyne's vocals that little bit further.
Whether by hook or crook, you MUST own this album. RATING - 5 / 5". Channel

"Sculpting samples into dark & disquieting images - The closest thing we have to a local Trent Reznor". The NZ Listener.
"The most innovative, emotive and experimental music ever to come out
of New Zealand". Salient Magazine (Victoria University)
