Imagination Club
“Simultaneously celestial and deeply connected to the earth,
Eda Maxym's Imagination Club is a serious jumping off place for
intensely sensual vocals, unexpected and highly evocative instrumentation,
and near perfect pacing on the new musical frontier where Miles
Davis, The Beatles, and other nefarious characters wait in the
wings with their mouths hanging open, listening to their influences
being taken to the next level. A wondrous collaboration of vocal,
instrumental, and spoken word magic exquisitely produced.”

Beasts
of Paradise
"There are five members of Beasts of Paradise, but the
focal point is Eda Maxym, a torch singer with tremendous range and
versatility. Her emotional outbursts and warm style -- both casual
and focused -- captivate listeners. While Maxym's vocals steal the
show…the esoteric sounds are world fusion with ambient textures
and timbres. There are vague echoes of rock & roll as well.
However, it always comes back to Maxym's vocal skills, which
are considerable
and powerful."

Trance
Mission
"Efforts to tag the many dimensions of San Francisco's Trance
Mission have churned up amalgams of words like ethnic, ambient,
techno, tribal, post-industrial and trance, but even tacking on the
obvious "world music" designation wouldn't cover
the half of it. At a time when the gaps between East and West,
old
world and
new world, are closing in, Trance Mission stitches together
instruments and atmospheres from the four corners of the Earth
to create a blanket of sounds that seems to exist beyond the
stratosphere."
