It's been fun March 26, 2006

I gotta love MySpace. That site has been exposing me to a lot of great artists/bands I would not have heard of had I not signed up with the social networking site. Another great artist I have discovered is Ayria (aka Jennifer Parkin, formerly of Epsilon Minus). "Flicker" is the second full length cd by Ayria. It is a diverse mix of EBM, industrial, electroclash, and trip hop. "It's Been Fun" kicks off the cd with its bouncy electro beats. "Counterblow" is a killer follow up. The throbbing beats and Jennifer's seductive vocals. The entire cd is infectiously catchy. It is hard not to have any of these songs stuck in your head. I especially love the irresistable "My Revenge On the World". It is a fun, catchy song to dance to. The best songs on the cd are the ones that I can dance to like "It's Been Fun" and "My Revenge On the World" but I also dug the slower, downtempo tracks like "Pink Dress" and "Be Me". "Flicker" is a fun album overall. It isn't angst ridden like a lot of industrial cds or as emotional as most EBM cds. "Flicker" somewhere falls inbetween the two genres and it works for Jennifer Parkins. I immensely enjoyed "Flicker".

I am new to Ayria's music. I first heard her music through the internet and was hooked. It is a rarity in the EBM genre to see a woman take front and center stage which is what Jennifer Parkin does here with Ayria. "Flicker" is the second album from Ayria. Her music is a diverse mix of EBM, electro, synthpop, and electro-clash. "Flicker" kicks off with the highly energetic "It's Been Fun". "Counterblow" slows down a bit but not too much. It is a dark, electro track. Very cool track. The stand out track here on the cd is the irresistably catchy "My Revenge On the World". It would be hard not to fall in love with this song. Jennifer successfully combines aggressive electro beats with addictive pop hooks and creates one of the catchiest songs ever heard in electronic music. I find myself constantly singing along to the song every time I listen to it. I think Jennifer's strength is the uptempo songs. I didn't think the slower tracks were all that hot. They weren't terrible but they lack the energy that made me love "It's Been Fun" and "My Revenge On the World". Neverthless "Flicker" is a lot of fun to listen to. It certainly made me a fan out of Ayria.
Better Than "Debris"! May 16, 2006

I loved Ayria's first album, "Debris", but "Flicker" shows tremendous growth and confidence in Jennifer Parkin's song-writing, composition and performance. The sound is less 80's pop and much more anthemic and at times militaristic (ie. "My Revenge On The World" and "Infiltrating My Way Through The System"). The lyrics are also more personal, yet still fun and intelligent without being angst-ridden nor pretentious. I can't wait for her next album.
Just Listen... January 25, 2008
Unlike some music these days, this CD is meant to be listened to on a good sound system. Little computer speakers do not do this justice. As for the music itself, you either like EMB or you don't. If you're a fan, you'll enjoy it. Ayria mixes it up, which gives the music some depth. Definetly a strong effort.
Excellent album, but amazon's seller is overcharging July 23, 2008
I had discovered this band through the Cruxshadows. So when I went to buy their catalog, I started shopping. Buying Flicker there is basically $17. And the Limited Edition 2 cd set is $29. Do some research before you set your prices.
