Wonderful, one of my favorites.......2005-06-28

Daimonion is arguably Project Pitchfork's best album. It features the maturity that their later recordings have on them (I.E. Eon:Eon, Inferno, and Kaskade) but it also captures their earlier more aggressive EBM days (like on albums such as Alpha Omega). There is a slight difference though from either of these directions though, even if this album does seem to be a cross roads for these two 'styles'. The difference being that Daimonion features some electronics that almost place it in the genre of techno, every now and then. But this "techno" side is very small and is only noticable if you are listening to the album in search of the bits and pieces that have been used to put it togother.

Furthermore, the great thing about Daimonion is that almost all of the tracks go off in different directions, forcing the listener to cover a lot of different grounds. This leads to a very unique listening experience, even though it does have hints every now and then of classic PP. The high points of the album would have to be: the sensational ebm/industrial track "Time Killer" (which spawned a hard to find but good single, the electronic/ambient journey titled "Fear", the double sided track Drone Assembly (with it's first instrumental approach and then it's classic Project Pitch. sibling), and the epic Mine/Beast of Prey. There are of course many other tracks but those are the ones that are seemingly the most memorable.

As another reviewer pointed out, this album is definently a much more poppy version of "Eon:Eon", but that is probably what makes it so great, and gives it that 'cross roads' feel that it has. It places more energy into the album and takes away the slow and suttle sound and gives it a faster, more shiney feel. This is probably one of the most intelligent, if not progressive industrial albums to be out there.

Heard it playing in the store and bought it immediately.......2003-12-05

These guys are masters of electronic music, but then you probably didn't need me to tell you that. Some tracks here are outstanding, while others are plainly melodramatic, but overall the music and the booklet are creative. Lyrics are included, which always scores some points with me (too many bands neglect their booklets anymore), although these lyrics don't particularly make much sense some of the time -- but then again, i guess this could be intentional. Who knows with these guys? They obviously are intelligent lads; it's just that something is lost in the translation. Still, the lyrics are worth pondering.

If you don't like one song, just skip to the next for a different sound: some are danceable, others are quaint, some are simply intense [like 'Existence'], and a couple are lovey-dovey. I wish that less of these songs aspired to be elegant and that more of them sounded like the track 'Existence', which throws in some heavy guitar. Maybe i got tired of this CD because i played it every day for a couple of weeks after i bought it, sometimes more than once a day.

A welcome Beat to a somewhat irregular Heart.......2003-11-12

This album has a mix of slow and fast songs. There are the strong and blood driving guitarsin We are One and Mine/Beast of Prey, and there are songs that induce comfort and the same blood driving nature of strong powerful guitars but in a simpler and more complex nature in the songs Rear, Drone Assembly and Citynight. Aside from Eon:Eon this album is the most complete of Project Pitchfork's Library. If you are an industrial fan, or just a fan of music, check out this album, it'll open the door to Industrial music. This album is a blessing upon the sometime irregular and somewhat confusing nature of the industrial scene.

Good if you like the slower side of industrial/EBM.......2002-01-13

Most industrial bands that appeal to me are those which have songs that are of a fast, high bpm nature. Due to this, Project Pitchfork's style hasn't fully won me over like it has for many industrial fans. With their new album, Daimonion, the sound remains traditional Project Pitchfork for the most part with the exception of the less distorted lyrics. There are a couple of faster, club oriented tracks such as Timekiller...but most remain on the slower side. There are few tracks on Daimonion which get my attention however. "Timekiller" is a fast track that will surely get played at many underground clubs. "Jupiter Or Somewhere Out There" really appealed to me, with it's haunting atmosphere and emotional lyrics. "Drone State" is also one of my favorites because of it's irregular beats and synth patterns. I guess the bottom line is if you like the faster style of industrial, Daimonion may not be for you. If you're in the mood to try something new however, go ahead and give this album a try.

Best Project Pitchfork Album Yet!.......2001-09-11

Project Pitchfork made a nice recovery from "Eon:Eon," which wasn't a bad album but just very inconsistent, with possibly their best album yet. It flows smoothly from beginning to end and is incredibly well recorded. There is not a single weak track on the CD, either. I just think it is a shame that so few people know about Project Pitchfork, because albums like this could make them quite big here in the U.S. This album will please fans of a wide variety of music genres, and is a worthy addition to almost any music lover's collection.

2001, a revamped Project Pitchfork.......2002-04-02

Though Project Pitchfork has had its high and low moments over their past several albums, I have to say that this CD is a refreshing compliment to their past creations. Though my favorite albums from them are Lam-'bras and Entities, this CD has a more defined sense of itself as opposed to EON:EON. Though it still has a few songs that seem somewhat inspired by the short repetious, yet poetic lyrics found on such albums like EON:EON, it turns away from the heaviness of Chakra Red, dwelving more to the pure electronica that drew me to them originally. A good example of this would be Drone State and Jupiter (or somewhere out there).

The only true downfall is this genre is not widely popular among Americans, thus they receive little recognition for their unique and intriguing sounds. This album is, in my opinion, one of the best they have created simply because it seems more complete than albums like EON:EON. However, for the older fans of Project Pitchfork that preferred the more direct lyrics and darker music, they won't be satisfied.

a sequel to Eon:Eon? good, anyway.......2001-04-21

I know many fans got disappointed with Pitchfork's last album 'EON:EON'; but I think it was, if not their most inspired (that was IO), their most complete album up to date. 'Daimonion' follows in a way 'EON:EON''s style... after the harder 'Chakra Red', Pitchfork seems to follow a more poppy style (this is not pop anyway) while at the same time returning to its more EBM roots. Anyway, Daimonion is not original... Pitchfork seems to have lost their spontaneity and originality forever, and they can't surprise me in the way bands such as 'Skinny Puppy' or 'Front 242' used to do with every new cd... but they replace that by a perfect control of their musical intentions.. OK there're some songs which do not add anything new. The best may be 'We Are One', 'Timekiller'... In my opinion, 'Citynight' is the real gem in the album... but all in all the album is decent and reveal that experience accumulated thorughout their more than 10 years of history will they ever reinvent themselves?
