Comments:

The deep-voiced Katiana Pariah is every inch the leftfield diva. She makes music that will thrill those that are into Diamanda Galas and Jill Tracy. She has the cabaret touches in common with Tracy. These seven songs are all excellent, but hardly an easy listen. They are like the more scaled down recordings of Galas, with focus on the astonishing vocals. As a debut it's very accomplished and I hope to hear more of her. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
