Comments:
Dianna St. Hilaire AKA Versailles makes gothic modern music with strong songs. "Sacrifice" is catchy and deep, Versailles bringing it her all. "One with me" is a softer song that still has plenty of edge, and proves St. Hilaire's talent. "Take my life" is a Depeche Mode-like electro song with gorgeous vocals. It's a short, sharp EP all told. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
