Q*Ball In Space is the debut album from NYC electropop guru
Q*Ball. Funk-laced electronica, filled with melody, lively beats &
plenty of quirkiness to stand out from the pack - a scrumptious
dance-pop bonbon.
Q*Ball is one of those one-man bands, a guy who writes, designs and
plays everything on his own CD - like Prince or Moby. Q*Ball In
Space is a pop record, there is no doubt about that. BUT this CD
ventures into all sorts of other directions - at times it is light and
danceable, and at other times dark and heavy. Electronica meets groove
meets rock all at a really cool party in the Hollywood Hills. Picture
a melding between early White Zombie and old B-52's. That sort of
strange combination is one of the many reasons that this CD is an
attractive addition to any pop lover's collection. |

"...Q
brings to the table an arsenal of up-tempo electro-dance tunes laced
with catchy pop hooks on tracks like the opening "Get On The Bus,"
where Q's U2-on-Ecstasy style simmers to a boil."
Omar Perez / altar native
"...refreshingly clear and modern sounding, reflecting elements of
Zooropa-era U2, Gregg Alexander, and some vocal similarities to a
post-Notorious Duran Duran."
Rodney Griffith / Extended Playhouse
"...electric with funk, techno-pop, and bouncy vocals. With huge
guitar fuzz, each song is a build-up of the other with an almost
fantasy-filled choose-your-own-adventure lurking at each turn, not to
mention some of the best production work I've heard in a long time. If
Faith No More had decided to continue, but move in more of an
electronica vein, they would have morphed into Q*Ball."
J-Sin Shawn / Smother.net
"Another innovative band trying to bring music into the future by
holding onto various roots, combining them with a futuristic insanity
and a healthy dose of instrumental talent."
Music Morsels
"Pure slamming dance floor heaven!"
Jon Worley / Aiding & Abetting
"...a booty-shaking party record. The exuberant "Get On The Bus" makes
this abundantly clear from the start, and if there were any doubt,
there's "Licky", a floor-burning ode to anal osculation."
Demo Universe
"This CD is awesome & gives hope for the whole dance genre, which has
seemed so tired lately. "Edith" is particularly clever & danceable -
the whole CD is one to play on any kind of roadtrip to keep awake -
you'll laugh, dance in your seat - forget your worries."
Jane Gyarmathy
"Buy this CD! If you're into electronica, this is it! If your foot's
not tapping the floor on the first chorus, you might want to check
into ER. Catchy instrumentation meets happening vocals in a vortex of
swirling rhythms that creates a beautiful work of art. Watch out for
Q*Ball's rising star. Top notch!!"
