REVIEWS OF THE NEW ALBUM
'AN INTRODUCTION TO SIMEONE'
"A wonderful new album"
RESONANCE 104.4fm [Dexter Bentley]
"Lee Simeone is a wunderkind multi-instrumentalist, who specialises in dark wave electro. Described as 'like Mozart with synths' one track from his debut album was recently used as an installation at the Tate Modern gallery."
ROUGH TRADE RECORDS
"A huge sound, could be something special here" FUTURE MUSIC MAGAZINE Issue: 153
"Arguably, Simeone is one of the U.K.'s most promising synth virtuoso's to materialize in recent years, with songs that emerge in dramatic form, and flow almost endlessly from the heart."
IGLOO MUSIC MAGAZINE [full review here: http://igloomag.com/reviews...]
" 'Unique' is a difficult word to wield accurately and appropriately in music, but this epic 21-track album suggests Simeone may be able to stake a reasonable claim to it. His compositions defy easy description. They vary from instantly enjoyable pop to challenging soundscapes and frankly baffling interludes. Some could comfortably soundtrack the most surreal David Lynch film. A few would be right at home at a chilled-out gathering or dinner party." FMV MAGAZINE
"An odyssey into a world of achingly beautiful electronica, ambience and catchy songs that are haunting, psychologically messy, joyous and sublime listened through a gloss of top production. Brilliant." ***** http://synthmagic.co.uk
"Dear readers, right now I'm sure you're ready to skim frantically between the reviews to search for something again that you can satisfy your palates with, take a moment of pause... what we propose to you is an artist that is the medicinal one whom shall doc & ease our frenzy into reading, discovering and listen to. Here it is a double CD featuring this artist with other collaborators; Kevin Mooney (bassist of Sinead O'Connor and Adam & The Ants) and quell' as much mysterious Karel Fialka that in 1987 reached the peak of the standings with one of the strangest and ten-day like "Hey, Matthew". Why relax to this disc of Simeone? Because of his dark room atmosphere, between the experimentalism of King ' 80s and the modernization of a sound never forgot, I'm sure you'll have a pleasant surprise & find this album interesting. It's the nineteen eighties with the technology & a little bit of travel to salto pseudo and pseudo-4AD-sound is the prescription recommended" ASCENSION (Issue: 28)
"Enigma Kaleidoscope" twinkles like the early night sky over the seaside. "Little Lost Soul" is two thirds eighties synthpop to one third Darkwave. "Alone" crackles away and doesn't sound as lonely as it leads you to believe. "You Shine On" keeps its hopes high as it is a love song. "The Translucent Track" brings in some rhythm guitar and melodica, and this makes all the difference as this one is a standout number with proper indie rock roots. "Magic Star" brings the post-punk home while hitting the high notes. "Without Your Feeling" is another love song that sounds like it belongs on a wedding soundtrack but has a few creepy undertones to it. "In The Stars" reminds me of early- to mid-nineties Electro-Goth and Goth rock. "Lovesong" is a great Cure cover and "Ocean" brings a certain touch of Trip-Hop and Hip-Hop. Very cool. "The Things I Saw" is cold and machinelike, with some influence from old school industrial bands. 7/10 NEUWELT MAGAZINE
"There is something rather good at work here. It is clear that he understands dark-wave (synth-goth if you really need things broken up and made simple for you), and also relishes working with some of the pioneers. So there are collaboreations with ex-Renegade Soundwave member Gary Asquith, Adam and the Ants' Kevin Mooney, as well as Karel Fialka and the aforementioned John Foxx. Those who understand this music will take it to their hearts and watch where he goes from here...film soundtracks and some seriously cool music is my guess." 3.5 / 5 17 SECONDS
"All in all this album is a very nice and well produced experience" BRUTAL RESONANCE
"Lee Simeone has been blown upon the shores of the electronic frontier through his textured and shimmering sound and his soulful vocals. A sense of peace comes from his singing, with synths accompanying him along the melody in a serene manner... a faint reverb and sugared keys lead me into a world of peaceful dreams and gentle melancholy" http://kainklangmusikmagazi...
