BILLBOARD MAGAZINE "Awake Inside A Dream" - ****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
Angels of Venice explore medieval music and global sounds with a modern
chamber music sensibility...Carol Tatum sets her original melodies in arrangements
suffused with an enchanting sense of drama and atmosphere. It's a sound that
looks toward Dead Can Dance as much as (classical composer) Manuel de Falla
and is evocative and sensual.
CARPE NOCTEM MAGAZINE "Awake Inside A
Dream" - First, it should be noted that Angels of Venice is a beautiful act. Their
music is lush, their sound is full and the musicians are as talented as they are
physically attractive. Angels of Venice recreate a wondrous tapestry woven from
the intrictate tonal threads culled from history's great musical loom.
PROPAGANDA MAGAZINE " Awake Inside A Dream" - ...masterfully written and performed...
These Angels are easily the most talented musicians I've written about in a long
time. Besides just being accomplished musically, Angels of Venice have a real flair
for style. Their CD booklet is adorned with beautiful medieval art and graphics...
NAV MAGAZINE " Awake Inside A Dream" - This album really kicks...if I may be so
crude...butt! Reminds me of Dead Can Dance but without their sometimes artificial
ambient loops. ...I'm drunk and heady all over. Highly Recommended!
AWARENESS MAGAZINE - "Awake Inside A Dream" - ...is a two part journey through the majestic
eyes of Carol Tatum...(whose) vision is the driving force behind the music. There is
an abundant amount of soul and sensuality blending effortlessly with a sense of
adventure and mystery... Tatum is adept at creating music that is visually lush and
supported by a strong underlying theme (mood). Her moods tend to reflect the dark
underbelly of emotion that is being explored in the music. This is a natural
expression of talent and not necessarily a foreboding exercise in the grotesque or
macabre. ...cozily lilts through dreamscapes and new horizons, (this) music
embraces qualities that are ethereal and earthy, representing a path of feminine
perspective and oneness.
