The 2006 debut album from Aelph, a talented upcoming UK based artist...
Sounds like:- Skunk Anansie, Morcheeba, Mazzy Star, the Cocteau Twins and John Lydon having an orgy with a well oiled guitar to the strains of Massive attack, whilst dangling from Siouxsie Sioux's left earlobe during a thunderstorm on a return trip to Faerieland from the planet Jupiter. (AKA Pixie Punk!)
But mostly she sounds like HERSELF!

Album reviews:
'Tired of Boring, Predictable, Soulless music? Then try this. It's a varied and definitely very ORIGINAL album, with something for everybody! It's Melodic, Funky, Punky, Playful Psychedelic Electronica with Haunting Vocals and Cutting Guitar Riffs. (with a Lashing of Rap, a Dash of Drum and Bass and some Fresh Ground Metal added for Flavour!) Lyrically, it delivers a Strong Yet Subtle Message about Finding Your Own Freedom and not Falling into the Trap of Fear and Repression...Other than that, it's Difficult to Categorise; listen for Yourself and see what YOU think!!!'
This CD is a current favorite, great songs, several that really kick ass and none that disappoint. Socially conscious music with an important message, and also catchy hooks, smokin' guitar, and nice production. I love the video on Aelph's MySpace page, also. I consider this a rare find, with all the ho-hum boring crap that's flooding the market, this one rocks! Buy it, you won't regret it. (author: Peter Zoernig)
