Bound to become a cult classic.
author: Julie Santoni
I can't believe only 100 copies were made of this CD and I own one of them and now for some unbelievable unkown reason it is no longer in print.
Eclectica can easily compete with Nightwish & Within Temptation if they had a label backing them and a bigger budget for the production.
That does not mean that it sounds bad at all, actually it is one of the best recordings I have ever heard from an independent band and sounds much better than many bands with labels behind their backs.
Robin on vocals is amazing and mesmerizing and of course Andrew on guitar is the usual genius (see his Earthcubed cd's also, I think those are still available).
Every song on this album is a story of it's own and each one is a gem. Very diverse from one another yet everything flows like chapters in a book.
I think this album is available on i-tunes and I really reccomend buying it now.
You won't be dissapointed.

Absolutely Incredible CD! Bordoni + Robin=Magic!
author: CAIN
Considering the incredibly short amount of time that was alotted to create this CD (a week) this is genius! Some bands work months and/or years to have a finished product this awesome. Bordoni compares to the likes of Satriani and Vai! Combine that with a voice similar to Tarja Turunen of Nightwish and this CD just knocks you out. If you love smart incredible guitar playing and the female operatic voice superbly intertwined with the music....then you will LOVE this!
BUY IT NOW!!!

A fantastic album - 5 out of 5
author: Rob
NOTE: See my full review for more details.
Robin's voice is just one of the many things that are different
from the Earthcubed albums. The overall impression is one of awesome riffs,
soaring solos and fantastic vocals. In my opinion, this album is at least as
good as his previous work. Is it better? It really is a tough call, because I
love the Earthcubed albums. But after spending a few hours listening to songs
from each album, I've decided that Eclectica edges out the Earthcubed albums.
If enough people support Andrew W. Bordoni, then just maybe he'll get the
recognition he deserves. Do both him and yourself a favour by buying this CD.
