Press

"The album is measured and sinister in a manner that evokes the narration of Malcolm McDowell in the movie adaptation of Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. The steady repetitive beats, half spoken vocals and simple melodies create an almost psychotic sense of anticipation for a fatal blow that may, or may not come. However it is songs like 'Xciter', 'Eloquently Violent', 'My Distortion', 'Horrorgasm' and 'Politics Of Partnership' that provide the album with it's true stand out moments where this formula really begins to reache its potential."

— Sean Palfrey, Dominion Magazine

“Fuelled by emotional shadows and darkened energy the new album from UK electronic/darkwave project Illustrial brings forth a reflective journey born of its creator whilst being the inspirer of personal involvement and feelings. Eloquently Violent is an album which offers a journey through heartbreak, inner loneliness, and slightly destructive dark essences of life. It is vibrant though bringing as much hope as resignation to evoke thoughts and feelings which all can interpret to their own struggles and blistered highlights. Eloquently Violent is an album which graces with expressive and satisfying sonic tapestries for the ear to immerse within”

— Peter Ringmaster, Ringmasters Review

“The link up with ILLUSTRIAL so successful and popular that Neformore and Strobegirl have announced they are working on an album together, watch this space, I am. This lady is sought after for her voice, no surprise why the collaborations between ILLUSTRIAL/STROBEGIRL created buzzes within and beyond Reputation.”

— Ringmaster, Reputationmedia

“Illustrial and Strobegirl (read the interview with her here) just finished their collaboration for the track “Don’t look Back. The track was voted as track of the week on Reputation Label, and is a great introduction for further collaborations between these two talented musicians. Get to know the man behind Illustrial here.”

— Acuvi, Illustrial Interview on Acuvi

“Alright, that's the stuff. :) (The Raven) Kinda sounds like an '80s slasher flick theme with a backbeat. ”

— Serin, Thesixtyone

“This (Cry) just snarls at you, like the whole track is angry. Cool”

— Moon Knight, Abovetopsecret

“I absolutly LOVE other peoples mondays, dark, polished and just brilliant!”

— Strobegirl, Myspace
