a Review by Amy Producer of Collected Sounds
Ror-Shak is another one of those groups that consists of a couple of staple players and then has guest female vocalists. There are a lot of "bands" out there like this, but I've yet to feel that there's too many. Ror-Shak is a collaboration between DB and Shawn Morris.
The style is somewhere in the electonica, ambient, dance realm. In a similar vein to St. Germain at times, especially on "Be There".
Many of these vocalists were unfamiliar to me until now; with the exception of Julee Cruise . Cruise sang the theme song _Falling_ for the fabulous show, "Twin Peaks". Her voice is still mesmerizing.
The other vocalists are great as well and their voices blend very nicely with the music. I especially like The Forest which is a cover of a song previously done (and written) by The Cure. It's quite different with a female vocalist, but equally haunting and lovely.
This is a very nice collaboration that fans of ambient electronica must hear.
