The American duo COLLIDE have earned dramatic reverence from the underground scene with their exotic hybrid of Darkwave, Cyber-Dance and Electronic, with crossover-appeal which will please to fans of Delerium, Evanescence, Massive Attack, Curve, Dead Can Dance and Portishead. The American duo creates an aural sculpture that manages to defy categorization with orchestrated layers of sound and emotion unraveling on one long expressive journey. Meaningful lyrics and hypnotic female vocals combine with an aural sculpture to form a unique listening experience. On this, their 5th CD, remixers, DJ's and bands from all over the world have lent their talents, passion and inspiration to further expand on the already diverse sound of Collide. From chunky guitar tracks to slithering lounge stylings, to Delerium-esque versions that are sure to hit the dancefloor. Some very special guests that have lent their talents to ''Vortex'' include : Charlie Clouser ( formally of Nine Inch Nails ), Rhys Fulber ( Conjure One / Delerium / Front Line Assembly ), Mark Walk ( producer of Skinny Puppy / Ruby ) and Mike Fisher ( Machines of Loving Grace / Amish Rake Fight ). This CD also contains three new cover versions, including the very poignant ''The Lunantics Are Taking Over the Asylum'', originally recorded by Funboy 3, as well as ''Haunted When the Minutes Drag'' by Love and Rockets and ''Feed me to the Lions'' by Adam and the Ants. Sensual, powerful and alluring. Statik and kaRIN are complete clashing opposites that try to meet on common ground, combining cognitive and the subliminal energies into deep and smooth undulating waves of sound that seduce the senses!
