"Intensely angry, partly heavily layered sound, and partly dark, percussive noise" -Alistair Vis Binks/CRANE-UP
"The new Mind Skelp-cher sounds a lot more linear than
what I have heard before. More spoken text, more
songlike. Reminds me of Sigilum S." -Joel
Bender/BELT
"Electronic noise that mostly resembles the classic
industrial sounds of groups like early SPK, with its cold,
machine-like aggression." -Todd Zachritz/GODSEND
PRODUCTIONS
"Nervous buzzing high frequency noise. The vocals and
synth create a real scary ritualistic feel. Lots of original
tape manipulation." -M. Boyd/DEAD EYES MAGAZINE
"Psychic
cleanliness through abrasion. Though their music has occasionally been dubbed
power electronics,
closer scrutiny reveals fare more insidious forces
at work." -Robert Olver/FREEDOM IN A VACUUM
"A purist approach to electronic sound sculpting mixed
with controlled collage. A surrealistic soundscape with a
post-modernist message." -Karla Ingleton/SOUND
MAGAZINE
"Very crazy music, a sort of ambient grindcore, which
they produce with keyboards, guitars, drum machines,
and lots of effects." -Mike Van Lammeren/FRINGE BENEFITS
MAGAZINE
"Mind Skelp-cher consider themselves to be Audio Terrorists
to avoid stereotyping and restricting themselves.
They experiment with different sounds to create music
that effects the entire body." -Amy Wrobleski/SPOKE
NEWSPAPER
"Cold and typical of a dream, not clear and resolved.
Impressionistic and alienating, where the listener is prey
to the execution of uncontrollable concepts in the
heart of consciousness" -Vincent Bondet/NOTIONS
MAGAZINE
"The Psychecentric Womb is an exceptional release.
It will have broad appeal among fans of new and old
industrial musicks." -Tim Olivera/HEBI LIKE A SNAKE
TAPES
"Distorted sounds with all kinds of effects. Great
stuff for death industrial fans." -Donna Kelmm/ARTWARE
AUDIO
"Frightening, grinding noise core." -Jen Brown/CKWR FM
"The sampling is very creative in getting that cold
mechanical feeling. Excellent use of sound effects. A real
cyber-gothic type of sound." -Lloyd Peart/BAUD
"Morbid hallucinatory soundtracks Qualities of noise,
melodic progression and dark surrealistic effect." -Rich
Oddie/ORPHYX
"Very atmospheric, dark and original music. Very hard
to compare to anyone I can think of." -Brian Noring/FDR
TAPES
"Nice post-industrialism. Sounds to lull you into fear
and shake you into sleep. Disconcerting and beautiful."
-David Miller/SICK MUSE RECORDINGS
"The Psychecentric Womb is fantastic! I've been listening
to your tape over and over wondering why you haven't
been signed to a major label yet?" -John/BROCA'S
AREA
"I really liked The Psychecentric Womb, it's a really
sick and twisted vision with excellent production work."
-Dave Fuglewicz
"What a change in sound! I quite like the sound of
the new material, sort of dark ambient, a return to earlier
ideas, although a progression as well." -David S.
Faris/PLAN ELEVEN
"Canada's most evil band. Soon the airwaves will be
cleansed and only the purity of Mind Skelp-cher will
remain." -Brian Damage/MUSICUS PHCUS
