"Boris Badenuff has taken this often repetitive and simpe genre to the next level. He has creatively found ways to incorporate more mature compositional devices such odd time sigatures and innovative parallel chord progressions harmoniously with the standard conventions of sampled materials and big break beats. This album is a MUST BUY for anyone who wants to hear the future of electronic music (for thoose of us who aren't always on drugs when we listen to it)! Boris Badenuff is a unique talent in this often formulaic and mundane world of Electronica please support the future of this music and BUY THIS ALBUM!"

Creative and well-done, with character, spark and twist

"By spirit, this music goes hand in hand with the Aphex Twin's Drukqs; by sound - with the likes of NIN, Meat Beat Manifesto and other top electronic/rock/goth kings. As far as originality is concerned, Badenuff has his own charisma and form going - which is rare right now on the electronic and rock market. Since the last interesting NIN album Fragile that came out, I think, in 1999, very little new truly refreshing and interesting music has been released, worthwhile on the market to simply listen to - on the heavy electronic side. Again, there of course exceptions (mostly coming from Island and Europe), but there are no more than 10 or so of them. And to me, Boris Badenuff's music falls into the category of those good exceptions.



Badenuff, while projecting a very commercial sound on the surface, and really great impeccable production, also brings a load of great ideas and a character that is consistent throughout the tracks that I've heard so far. Also note that according to the info on his website, he is Russian by origin, which gives me an additional hope that with this debut we'll see a new artist with non-standard creative approach to the music emerge out of the thin realms of new electronica, mixed with the depth that's always been associated with the most known artists of all genres (with few exceptions) that have originated in Russia. Brian Eno has not worked with several groups there for nothing, including the legendary Zvuki Mu - which, by the way, if you know at least remotely, will also sound as if they have made their reflection on Boris Bedenuff's material: endless irony in indirect yet groovy or sexy form."

Great industrial electronic/ alt rock blend

"In my area we have recently suffered the demise of the FM radio dial's only true alternative station, which played NIN, Offspring, Chili Peppers by day, and then late at night on the weekend would play more exotic electronic dance.



It's as if the spirit of that dead station has been synthesized and bolted onto this CD by Boris BadEnuff. Listen to Bad Habit, it's very indicative of the driving industrial nucleus of this disc, a baker's dozen of tight tracks featuring hard hitting beats, crunching guitar, a range of compelling vocal styles, howling synths and thick, phat bass.
