Just Handshakes is nice poppy, angelic music with a retro hook! This cd has a very girlie sound, very early Cranes and sometimes a very early The Cranberries sound! With this music it's always spring with a nice 80's hook! The only thing I miss on this one is a big hit, but 'London Bound' comes the closest to me (nice, guitars, synths and a great voice). It's all in all a great cd to listen to, to relax with and simply enjoy without having the need to review it. The songs are all nice dreamers. The tempo could be a bit higher from time to time, but I had simply fun listening to it.

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did...

here's the video:

IAMX feels quite delicate to me. It needs understanding and effort to really see the bigger picture. The live show can do that, it can convince people, but from my internal feeling, it can be uncomfortable.

40 YEARS OF THE ARCH
In our rehearsal room, making music was one thing; lounging around and drinking, joking around, and drinking even more was also fun.

LACRIMOSA
I am often a little frustrated by the complexity of my music, which in turn motivates me to keep composing, hoping that one day I will write a simple song.
