"This is upbeat, female vox-lead, synthpop music that seems destined for club play. At least "Escaping Light" and "Hypocrite" seem well-suited for that setting. Both "Megaphone" and "Artifact" are excellent, very impressive slow/mid-tempo tracks. Musically, "Repeat Defeat" is perfect. I love the melody. This is a very impressive demo. Very much worth your time and attention!

"Electro-pop that gives you clues about what happened to all those New Wave records from the ‘80’s. "Escaping Light" starts off slowly building into a crescendo of blips and bleeps with trip-hop downtempo beats on "You Are My Megaphone". But then the club floor ignites with the beat-heavy EBM flavor of the title track and things really take off from there. The melodies are rich and conducive to sing-a-longs; their vocalist has a beautiful voice that is ethereal and reminds me of some of the other female vocalists that Delerium has employed on their stellar superstar hits in the past. All of this wrapped in a New Order outer shell that will give a grin to any post-modern neo-Reaganite trapped listening to other bands bastardizing New Wave."

"This electronic duo from San Francisco, consisting of Ryan Coseboom and Rebecca Coseboom, presents a fine disc with smooth intelligent synthpop/electro. Both members are also part of Halou, Invisible Ballet is a side project. The album is filled with either dreamy songs or uptempo danceble tracks. Triphop influences are present on most of the album, making a comparison with Portishead very credible. This is very relaxing music, further enhanced by Rebecca's delightful voice. After the soothing opener "You are my megaphone" the tempo goes up to provide us with the catchy title track. On "Artifact" Rebecca's sensitive voice is on the forefront, supported by the from time to time quirky synths. "Moth" is a darker affair, it produces a dreamy, foggy ambience. In my opinion the album's best song"
