| Excellent, for once a spot on description,,,”Evanescence mixed with Enigma goes Kate Bush.....”. This music is a must for all fans of the aforesaid artists. Xanima would grace anyone’s record collection, a true treasure. "Terry - European Progressive Rock Reviews It’s certainly very modern in sound making generous use of samples, loops and synths yet there is an underlying rock element to the proceedings – not to mention some quite glorious melodies, hooks and vocals from Jade Ell. "www.virtuosityone.com Jag fullkomligt älskar de hårda syntharna, Jade.Ell’s väna röst och de otroliga arrangemangen. X-ANIMA måste vara helt ensamma om att låta så här just nu, för jag kommer inte på något modernt att jämföra med. Unikt helt enkelt. "Extended Mix An album of great diversity, electronically arranged tracks like “Caged,” “Soaring” (think Balligomingo!), “Short Sighted” and the upbeat “Into The Lens” include lush multi-layered vocal work and are reminscent of Enigma or Delierium. X Anima can rock alongside Evanescence and Scandinavia’s greatest metal bands including Epica, After Forever, Within Temptation and Nighwish Her vocal work will to broaden listeners interests and help them stray further from female singer songwriter to explore the rich arrangements, gothic textures and progressive rock romantacism of X Anima. "Musical Discoveries Musica originale, bellissime melodie, grande groove e grandi sonorità sinfoniche. Una grande produzione, grandi sonorità e spettacolari riff chitarristici compongono un disco interessante e davvero unico ! Da non perdere! "www.frontiers.it Lion Music (well done Lars) has hit on a winner here, that exibits crossover potential - even in the UK market. I like this very much and although not traditional rock or metal, for anybody who is open minded with their music, or is most certainly into the above mentioned acts and similar, give it a try, you will not be disappointed. A cool record! 9/10 (Reviewed by Dave) "www.ravenheartmusic.com If you are a fan of strong female vocalists - or simply open minded and seeking something different - you might want to give this one a spin.
