Lying somewhere between the neoclassical gothic movement and modern electronic
music is Venus Walk. The music while inherently modern utilizes a great deal of
artificial classical instrumentation which includes bells, tympany, and piano
to name but a few. The mood of the album is divided evenly down the middle with
half of the tracks being upbeat and cheery, while the remainder are downtrodden
and morose. Andrea has the ability to inflect her voice at just the right
levels to parallel the mood of each song and accentuate the final tonal
qualities. The few tracks that David sings on remind me a little of the duets
used by Dead Can Dance, albeit with less of a falsetto feel to them. This album
should cater both to gothic and industrial genres rather well despite it
lacking any solid dance floor tracks. This fact alone should make the band
immensely successful in the music underground by the sheer size of its
fanbase.
