Cool and catchy! Four and 1/2 stars... by J. Caron (Orem, UT United States)  4 Stars
October 04, 2006
This album is super cool and every single track is very strong and catchy. The female singer has a gorgeous and seductive voice and she sings with passion. If you could mix Berlin, Portishead and Depeche Mode together and add a dash of EBM, you'd get Invisible Ballet. My only complaint with the album is that they have obviously taken a little too much from some DM songs. Other than that, this CD is great and a definite keeper!

Halou and Cause and Effect Heir Apparent by Grant Erickson (San Francisco, CA) 4 Stars
October 16, 2005
I was turned on to Invisible Ballet by a recent newsletter from Halou and after listening to several clips from "Escaping Light" on the bands' web site, I went ahead and bought the disc. It was well worth it. Without regard to whether or not the vocals are an uncredited Rebecca Coseboom or Lin Chen really sounds just like her, the vocals are as beautiful as anything from Halou's Wiser or We Only Love You.
The music, however, tends to be a little more tempo and beat oriented. In fact, I find myself thinking of Cause and Effect's "Trip" as I listen to a number of these songs.
Anyway, support good music and talented independent artists and buy this disc. You won't regret it. I'll see you in line for their next concert!

For those snyth-pop/80's fans!!! by Gregory W. Peterson (Seattle)  5 Stars
October 09, 2005
All I can say the Album is excellent!!! There are no filler tracks here. This album is for those massive sythnpop/80's fans. There is some killer dance tunes on this beauty of an album. One of the big highlights on the album for me is the fact that the beautiful and talent Rebecca Coseboom of "Halou" sings all of the tracks. For whatever reason she is given no credit, unless she has an alias of Lin Chen. I was under the impression that Lin Chen was from Bloodwire. There is not one bad track on the album. One of the standout tracks for me, is Autumn Earth. This is a kick-butt dance track. Check out this album and other Halou releases, you won't be disappointed

| Wholeness & Separation
by Halou
Propulsive and funky drums percolate in the distance, while atmospheric pianos and other acoustic instruments hang in the air. Amidst sweetly and intentionally smeared electronics, breathy and reverb-laden vocals make you want to both have sex and fall asleep at the same time. The warm and inviting vocals of Rebecca Coseboom will please more than just those folks who can't get enough of early Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, or latter day His Name is Alive. Too bad the Matrix film franchise ran...

Daughter Darling (Performer)
If you can imagine Portishead, with more accsessible vocals, rich harmonies, classical style piano playing, gorgeous string sections and the most amazing beats ever programmed, then you have Daughter Darling. This project is the culmination of 6 years of beat production, the most talented piano, guitar and string players, a world class DJ battle champion and a girl who knew she was going to be a singer since 3 years old. Every song has been carefully crafted into a masterpiece. Natalie's...
