What is Violet Arcana?

Philosophically and sonically, Violet Arcana is often compared to a cross between Future Sound of London and This Mortal Coil because of its dreamy, vocally based techno. Ethereal vocals and other-world sounds evoke a surrealistic, moody synth-pop soundscape.

Reviews of In The Scene Of The Mind :

What's this? A total, professionally produced CD from the NW with tons of ethereal rave tracks to please the surreal music lover in you.

In the Scene of the Mind is a mind-altering, 13 song CD from Portland that combines all the advances of today's technical edge with a fine example of quality song writing. A swill of blurring samples and synthesized quirks on "Within" start off this disc. The song builds slowly with a cool monotone vocal effect that has a perfect mix. "In the Scene of the Mind" has trance-like melodies with creative vocal hooks all over the place. "The World Inside" perfectly displays the talent of Violet Arcana and the technical expertise.

A fantastic debut from Portland which is sure to be sound near the top of today's club and dance charts.
