"Can you believe there are now four CIA Debutante lp's in the world? That's right, this newest one, 'Trespass' is batting in the cleanup spot & it is very up to task; the strongest, most focused effort put forth yet. Narrator/guitarist Nathan Roche is at the peak of his oratory & string mangling prowess. His recitation over flared fret work, conjoined with Paul Bonnet's alchemical electronic stitchery (don't forget that clarinet!-Woodwinds ed.) summons forth a promethean tableau that's inexplicably both gothic & futuristic. Imagine if Mary Shelley had created Roxy Music instead of Frankenstein? 'Trespass' burns with a demanding urgency, its majesty sweeping across time from the charnel houses of Ingolstadt, Barvaria, to the Offworld shoulders of Orion....frontiers! Whatever you've thought of their previous three albums, those are now but tears in the rain. With 'Trespass', could CIA Debutante be approaching the pinnacle of Godhead? The Fates whisper only, "perhaps.""
