"I stumbled accross Natasha's Ghost on the Internet. They are a west coast band and frankly I had never heard them before. I listened to a web broadcast and liked it... alot! I bought the album and and played it some more. This is a great band with a really smooth-beat sound. Tracts three and four are an incredible combo. Why this band is not on MTV, Top 40, etc. I will never know. This band is better than most and hopefully will get a "break" for national exposure. In the mean time run, don't walk, and buy this album. You will not regret it."

"Love this band! I had the good fortune of catching a couple of their shows recently, both in Hollywood and in San Diego, so I bought the CD which is up there with Garbage and Madonna's newest. The singer is incredible, I see a Grammy in her future for sure!"
San Diego's Finest Do It Again!!!!

"Once again this San Diego quartet (actually a quintet now) explode with tasty grooves and sweet vocals. All I can really say..."DAMN!!" After almost 3 years in waiting for this 4th album, I'd say it was well worth the wait. Don't let this album slip away. If you haven't already, check out the band's previous albums: Everything Under The Moon, Bodyskipping and their self-titled debut. This is one act you don't want to be without."
Shimmering Review...

"I first heard the music from this CD as the soundtrack to a movie being made, and I fell in love with the gorgeous melodies and incredible lyrics right away. Natasha's Ghost has done an outstanding job creating something that will truly invade your soul - from the deep, dark intensity of "What I Want", to the upbeat yet philosophical "Natalie". One of the best original CDs I have come across in a long time!"
Great CD!

"I first saw Natasha's Ghost on MTV Spring Break a couple of years ago. Loved 'em then, love 'em even more now. Kelly Neill is an incredible singer/performer and Shimmer has so many moods and textures, its earned a permanent place in my changer. To the band, if you see this: Thanks for a great new CD well worth the wait!"
