Collide


Country of origin:

U.S.

Type of music generally:

Darkwave ectronic rock

Status:

See also:

Collide's site

Comparisons:

Vocally the lead singer is a bit like kym brown; overall sound is dark more darkwave/Gothic than that, though

Covers/own material:

Own, occasional covers

General comments:

very interesting stuff—a bit gothy, a bit trip-hoppy, a bit electronic. at times, you'd think it was kym brown singing since the vocalist (kaRIN) sings in that whisper sing-song style that kym brown has nailed down. (woj@smoe.org)

Yes, I can also hear the resemblance to kym brown. Collide leans more towards the crunchy rather than ethereal end of the range, but that's OK by me—I think I'm just in the mood for something like this right now. (afries@zip.com.au)

Comments:

Vocoder on two tracks. Ack. Even though woj recommended it and I liked the samples I heard I found that I couldn't listen to this disc all the way through at once. There's some kind of weird repetitive style that I just overload on. Probably darkwave fans would like this much more than I do. (Neile)
