One of the best early-electro-industrial albums to date. Tear Garden was the project of cEvin Key and Edward Ka-Spel, both great artist in their own right, so when the two came together I knew I had to buy this record.
All the tracks have a great quality to them and there isn't one on here that I don't like. The album could probably relate close to 'Skinny Puppys' album 'Bites' for two reasons. 1) The sound is the same. Rhythmic drums, strange lyrics and great piano work. 2) The track 'The Center Bullet' was featured on 'Bites' as an instrumental. This time on this album it has lyrics by Ka-Spel. A lot better version with the lyrics I think. 'You And Me And Rainbows' is a great epic track thats broken up into 6 parts, some weird sounding and some melodic and I would love to have this release with those parts broken up. The album as a whole seems very 'Goth' too. Lots of sad emotions with love and loss in most of the lyrics. A great start for Tear Garden!
