Reviews:

"Luna Trick effectively marries many influences- think trip hop, glam goth, pre- Let's Dance Bowie,
Nine Inch Nails industrial…" 

"It will fit nicely in between your copy of The Cure's Pornography and Cocteau Twins' Garlands."
(Amazon Review) 

"This CD is so full of interesting songs, musical diversity, and stunning imagery - it's hard to believe
that it's the work of one guy." 

"This should appeal to people who like the new wave revival going on in alternative circles -
or those that go for dark and dreamy." (Amazon Review) 

"… if you're looking for a CD that blends rock, funk, indie, and electronic, this is it."
(Amazon Review)

"At first listen, I fell for the NIN sound, and then I listened again finding threads of so many of
my favorite bands like the Cure, David Bowie. This is old school new wave meshed with the best
of today’s sounds. Buy this CD!" (CD Baby Review) 

"I love this CD. It is a great mix of different musical styles." (CD Baby Review)

Peer Reviews (MacJams, iCompositions, etc): 

"Engaging beat. Balanced mix. Cool, effected vox." 

"Sublime lyrics and production."

"It is a tight, driving thing. So crisp" 

"The vocals and lyrics are creepy and dark and work really well with the music groove." 

"…a nice mysterious sound. the instruments create a nice sense of space." 

"lovely energy, so much going on! lyrics, vox, music, everything's just great."

"This is a very interesting work. . .eclectic and brooding. interesting melody and rhythmic twists!"

"Amazing rich beat, powerful tracks!! Blows me away…"

Reviews:

"With solid grooves and biting lyrics. Staniforth takes on both political and religious issues -
delivering a diverse range of songs that are one minute industrial/electronica - and dreamy
psychedelia the next. (Amazon Review)

"Moody, sometimes dark and distant, and always beautiful music created by Luna Trick,
AKA, Daniel Staniforth."

"In his second CD release, Daniel stands solid in the middle of a storm. His vocals highlight a
range of emotions, as do the lyrics." (Amazon Review)

Peer Reviews (MacJams, iCompositions, etc): 

"Oozing with talent!"

"The songs and especially the lyrics are killer..." 

"...right of the bat, got me. very cool compositions. damn good job all over!"

"Production is top notch ... instruments rock ..... .lyrics are intelligent and well sung." 

"This music is full of suprising turns and exquisite harmonies." 

"Very dark and clean sounding."
