"Its not very often that you stumble across a CD that keeps you entranced from track one through to the end (with the added bonus that Alex is a down to earth Aussie babe!). This is one of those rare jewels and I highly recommend that you add this to your collection ASAP. I bought this CD as soon as it was released in Australia and have played it ever since. Alex keeps you captivated with his mix of electronic and acoustic sounds combined with excellent vocals. He also does not fail to captivate when he plays live. Do yourself a favour and purchase Black the Sun immediately. I also hear that a new album might be on the horizon in the next twelve months."
At LAST

"At last Australia has produced an artist that can sing and play his instrument without harsh shouting. On top of that, Alex Lloyd has delivered a lyrically outstanding and harmonic album. This guy concentrates on his music not some distant image portrayed to society, and luckily, he has now been exposed for his true talent. His album is amazing, songs like My way home, black the sun, Lucky star etc are fantastic. This album is a must get for any supporter of Australian music or just soft rock, feat excellent guitars remixed with this guys voice. Well done alex."
Bring this one to the US!

"I was just in Melbourne & picked this up off a Borders listening station. The songwriting is sometimes pedestrian--two or three songs feel like filler--but Lloyd's voice is immediately distinctive, and the music is consistently interesting and surprising. "Momo" is a case in point, with its spoken-word Japanese intro, drum-and-bass groove, and a splash of harmonica and R&B organ. I think this could find a large audience in the US."
