Head Music [Columbia Records], 1992
"Voice an rhythm move past each other with the formalized grace of ballet. [The band creates] darkly ethereal shapeless lullabies, while Vanessa Daou whispers into the mike." The New York Times, Sunday Arts & Lesiure
"The most intriguing feature of this recording is singer Vanessa Daou. She may very well be the first jzaa-rock-fusion singer I've heard. ... exquisite phrasing and choice of tones by Vanessa..."" New York Daily News
"[T]heir music is reminiscent of the "hieroglyphics" of graffiti. It's incredibly beautiful music that won't be accessible to everyone just because it junks cliches in the effort to forge a new language. It's distinctly urban, drawing from disparate sources (jazz, rock, House) to form a whole, but allowing none of the seams to show."" The Village View
"Imagine Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell on a date, entering a folk club only to discover its turned into an avant-garde underground club. Jazz, dance, folk and rock mingle and become indistinguishable [Vanessa] Daou merges diverse musical styles and comes up with an album easier to listen to than categorize." URB
