<p>&#8220;[the Loneliest of Creatures] is one of the most ethereal and hauntingly beautiful albums to be released this year. Jordan Reyne is a truly experimental musician, willing to overthrow any preconceived notions of &#8220;how music should be&#8221; in order to expand her art&#8221; Chaff (Massey University Student Press)</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr Kevorkian and The Suicide Machine may just be making the most important sound of 2002. An enchanting patchwork of ethereal harmony, unabashed gothic melody, and a cerebral songwriting swagger, &#8216;The Ironman&#8217; is simply stunning. A thoroughly unique work of art from start to finish. Whether by hook or crook, you MUST own this album.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr Kevorkian and The Suicide Machine may just be making the most important sound of 2002. An enchanting patchwork of ethereal harmony, unabashed gothic melody, and a cerebral songwriting swagger, &#8216;The Ironman&#8217; is simply stunning. A thoroughly unique work of art from start to finish. Whether by hook or crook, you MUST own this album.<br />
RATING &#8211; 5/5 Channel 4 (UK)</p>
<p>I&#8217;d be loath to categorize music this original. PJ Harvey springs to mind, but the style is 100% Jordan&#8217;s. Her vocals are astounding.<br />
The Mix (UK)</p>
<p>Jordan Reyne&#8230; she&#8217;s shrewd, has a history and keeps on going, with a weird mind and stories that evoke photographic snapshots.  This music has beauty, but there&#8217;s a trace of canker now and then, a lament where the sounds help create and distort the mood. The reason it can be enchanting is because of the impeccably measured vocals that have a delightful timbre of mischief.  Musically it&#8217;s always moody to one degree with the guitar and percussive slant of ‘Measurement&#8217; being particularly anxious, ‘Part II&#8217; set in a station with tannoy announcements and clunky footfalls being picturesque, but ‘Not Because&#8217; ends with fluttering mayhem and what I find weird is how the songs are just one step away from sleek, gorgeous mainstream accessibility! [The Ironman] is a beautiful, perverse album, which will reap further rewards the more you allow it to.<br />
Mick Mercer (UK)</p>
<p>Husky and thoughtful female vocals ride over a wide-ranging alternative spectrum of sound, from rock and acoustic guitars, to mellow and haunting synths.  That said, this sound is distinct, with Jordan&#8217;s vocals being able to reach any scale, no matter what the music around her may be doing, making for a varied listening experience.  This is what the scene needs – more bands willing to give something new a go, and Dr Kevorkian seem to be amongst those leading the way.<br />
Hard Wired (UK)</p>
<p>A groundbreaking album &#8211; Probably the most eerily beautiful and disturbing album you will hear from a New Zealand artist this year.<br />
New Zealand Musician</p>
<p>&#8230;the most innovative, emotive and experimental music ever to come out of New Zealand.<br />
Salient (Victoria University)</p>
<p>The Ironman is a concept album, a study in science, technology and humanity. Stunning poetry.. evocative and moving.<br />
Real Groove</p>
<p>Where others sit and strum, Reyne uses the entire studio to build somber yet evocative sound pictures&#8230; She succeeds in turning her bleakest visions into something musically seductive.<br />
The Listener</p>
<p>This album will tear you apart &#8211; and it may be the best thing you buy all year.<br />
Rip It Up</p>
