PRESS QUOTES
The album is a trip well worth taking for anyone who appreciates experimental, electronic, dream pop at its finest. There are many levels beyond the flat horizon of the Flemish lowlands. If you cant see them yourself, Colour Kane will push open the clouds and take you there.
Blog Critics (F) – January 2009 by Jeff Perkins
Eye Drops’ and ‘Astonish’ modernise
the Cocteaus template with heavy beats running alongside the
customary myriad of guitar effects whereas ‘Unseen’
aims for a fairly danceable sound. Proof - if it were
needed - that their credentials are respected, Robin Guthrie
himself guests on remix duties for ‘Seaside Dream’.

A stellar debut all told.

It’s a stunning example of dream pop done right
- vocalist Marjan Snykers floats through lush guitar tones while a
steady hand on bass and electronic beats keeps tracks focused and
coherent. With warmer weather coming, many of you are looking for
light, sunny tracks for convertible, beach, and/or outdoor use - this
will be a key addition to your iPod and car CD collection..

The next generation of dreampoppers. The impact of a
marshmallow sledgehammer. Nice harmonies.
Time-lapse of growing
plants. Sleepy music, beautiful sparseness.

Every song on the record is worth a single.

Records (Japan) - December 2007
A precious disc, that carries the listener along a 51
minute's journey of floating dreams. Meet a belgian band with an
international attitude. Definitely to be continued.

It should come as no surprise to all those who’ve heard them
given that they sound like some heaven bound union of the Cocteaus,
the Sundays, the Lover Speaks and the Bang Bang Machine mixing
soothing atmospherics with heartbreaking braids of chiming resonance
that together combine into cloud kissing perfection - rip the ice
tipped romance laden bliss out ’broken’.

De muziek krijgt een haast filmische dimensie, of beter gezegd:
Colour Kane kan een song doen aanvoelen als een impressionistisch
schilderij...

Colour Kane… Ou comment se frayer un chemin sur l’échiquier
musical international tout en restant à l’ombre des
médias. Comme dit le dicton : nul n’est prophète
en son pays ! Un chant féminin aux intonations proches du
groupe, quelques nappes électro atmosphériques, une
basse rythmée et de sons de guitares planants. Un genre de
projet pas si éloigné d’Hooverphonic qui peut
s’avérer très efficace sur scène.

Fin dai primi istanti di "A Taste Of", la canzone che
apre l'omonimo disco, le chitarre dei Colour Kane risplendono
magneticamente sotto i raggi di luna e poi più vanti la voce
della cantante Marjan Snykers ammalia tra vortici di delicatezze che
in più di un'occasione ricordano i voli di Elizabeth Frazer.

'A taste of' is een trip vol elektronische beats, etherische
gitaren en ijle vocalen
Rifraf (Belgium) - July 2007 - by bvm
“Love hurdles” o “Unseen” son canciones
irresistiblemente seductoras, mientras que la languidez de “A
taste of”, encargada de abrir el trabajo, es una hipnótica
introducción al mundo Colour Kane, en el cual abundarán
refinadas composiciones, preciosos coros y sugerentes imágenes
que depararán más de un agradable momento.

des morceaux, en passant par les sonorités, faites de
jolies guitares cristallines sur lesquelles se dépose
délicatement une voix aérienne.
Le
fantastique(Belgium) - June 2007 - by Frédéric Cotton
A Taste Of features no shortage of blissed-out material but
perhaps no songs are more heavenly than the anthemic “Share My
Ease,” “Silya,” and, yes, “Seaside Dream”
which constitute as magnificent a sampling of dream-pop as you’re
likely to hear in this lifetime. (more...)
Textura (Toronto, Canada) - May 2007 - by Ron Schepper
Dit is muziek waarin elk detail tot zijn recht komt. Wat ons
betreft mochten die medleys (op myspace nvdr) gerust langer duren.
Eeuwig, bijvoorbeeld. Dan zouden we alleen nog uit onze zetel opstaan
om het eerste volledige album van Colour Kane te kopen. (more...)
Cutting Edge (B)- Januari 26th 2007 - by Jennifer Beckers
The lyrics are reminiscent of Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil,
Dead Can Dance and oter 4AD bands. This sound is backed
throughout by electronica beats. It's a mix I don't think I've heard
before. (more...)

This cd is most suitable to spin on a sultry indian summer evening
like this. Whatever, the four songs reside in my I-Pod and I don't
think they'll soon dissapear from my harddisk. Simply beautifull...
