... your voice has the atmospheric quality of the Cocteau Twins or Souxie (of the Banchees). The world needs more vocalists like you who believe in the power of their own style and write their own work. -- Michael from Bangor, Wales, United Kingdom

[21 October 2007] Comment on MySpace:

...If I had to describe it in an abbreviated fashion, I would say that if Elizabeth Fraser, Bjork, and Sheila Chandra (And perhaps some other ghosts that don't come to mind at the moment) were to morph into one person and one voice and re-interpret "Across the Universe" in an entirely new way, then this might describe it. The alto melancholy vocal drone etched with the overlapped seductive nuances and whispers is simultaneously calming but unnerving. Not only did I appreciate the music, but it complements the art perfectly. I love the fire art photos, but the portraits with the prominent trance eyes with a hint of anger are wonderfully done. Of course, I am partial to the Cat acrylic on canvas. You are a wonderful seamstress of sound and vision. Like a beautiful dirge if there is such a thing. I am impressed. Bright Blessings to you. -- Rod from San Lorenzo, California

[02 July 2007] Review of debut CD "Ineffable Desire" by Desmond Ambrose:

I was really very impressed with this album. I'm happy I took the chance on it after hearing some of the songs on Myspace. My reward is a truly fun and enjoyable listen. Ineffable Desire is VERY interesting! Ella's voice is sheer bliss, comparable to the passion and ingenuity of P.J. Harvey combined with the delicate smoothness of Elizabeth Fraser. Those only being starting points as Ineffable Desire is quite original. The music is wonderfully complimentary to Ella's voice and avoids all mainstream clichés, much like Goldfrapp, but in very different ways. This is a very beautiful and refreshing record, its wonderfully recorded- the sound is awesome, and it felt good, for me, to support the artist.

[05 February 2007]  Review of song "How Things Have Changed", Double Take:

A real tripping production that dances around the song and weaves in and out like honeysuckle climbing the fence. A pleading vocal sticks desparately between the airy musical layers building an irresistable slice of psycedelica.

[05 February 2007]  Review of song "Dance With Me", Double Take:

A song to peep at from behind the sofa - it's after you like a Pop Siren on a mission of persuasion - can you survive the powerful lure of this unusual and artistic composition?

[12 December 2006]  Review of song "How Things Have Changed", Furtive Wangler's Playlist/Episode 6:

Ella Blame sounds like nobody else I've heard before. This song is a bit of a departure for this podcast because I think it's probably the first piece of all electronic music I've played. But you need to turn up the volume, turn off the lights and it transports you to another time and planet. Marvellous stuff.

[November 2006] Review @ Catsask Music & Entertainment

Truly hypnotic and very trippy, Ella Blame brings in a modern day 60's era style of kaleidoscopic sounds and vibrations. The new hippy music is born. Miss Blame covers her extremely "out there" sounds with a mesmerizing and funky vocal barrage that leaves us wanting more. Who is the owner of this haunting and unnerving voice? Who is it that leaves us in this zone of wonder? Ella Blame...

[20 July 2006] by Jeff Dame, northeastintune

Ella Blame’s music is very hypnotic; it takes your mind places that you never knew existed. Her voice has a calming effect in some of her songs and in others it sends a chill down your spine. If you listen to her songs, turn off the lights and anything that makes background noise and just relax and listen. Clear your mind. I have listened to her songs for 3 days before I wrote this review; it feels as though it has brought an inner peace to me. I turn off the lights, all other background noise and just close my eyes. There is serenity to Ella’s voice and tranquility to the accompanying music. Take the time to listen to her music, it is worth it.

[07 May 2006] Review of song "Last View" by Brian Ralston, Mixposure:

This is eerily superb. Great vocal performance and diversity. Ranges from seductive and sensual to downright scary. Love the production and the theatrics employed. It's almost Marlene Dietrich in parts, and touches of Kate Bush elsewhere. Having said that, this is an incredibly original piece of musical theatre. And despite its originality it's incredibly catchy.

[April 2006] Review of debut CD "Ineffable Desire" @ Unsigned Music Magazine:

Will I ever take Ella Blame out of my Mac? Yes, but only after I've imported it into iTunes so that I can listen to it over and over again. The groove on this album ist tight! The track How Things Have Changed  has this silky, sliding bass groove playing throughout that just hypnotizes you...

[27 March 2006] Bug The Root, Audiri

I remember the first time I heard an Ella Blame song: I was listening to the music at songramp.com and suddenly something extraordinary jumped through the speakers... There was a time when there seemed to be magic coming from the records of the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Siouxsie and others. That magic lives on in Ella Blame.
