"Never Been To Athens" Review, from Griffon Spire Magazine

The first single from "Out of Orbit", “Never Been to Athens” is a figurehead for the whole CD. This is a song that will stimulate body to move in the clubs but the melody will linger for days after. The EP-Single has two additional versions of “Athens” as well as the album version. The “Planet Nibiru Remix" was remixed by Mark Alan, which sounds like he traveled to rain forest recorded the environment to splice into a minimalist interpretation of the song. It works to cool effect. The “It's Gonna Crash Remix" was remixed by co-producer Ted Scarlett and aims directly at the dance floor with a retro house vibe. The “B” Side of the single, “AL 424-15” is one of the best flip sides I've heard in a while. Spoiling it for you would be unjust, but let me say the theme is post-apocalyptic and a very strange tale indeed. It's a pity the tune is not on the album, but that is why I love CD singles.

Purchase "Never Been To Athens" on iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers.
