{DRUMscene Magazine Dec, Jan 08 Issue: Vinnie Paul cover}
This self-titled release from ANIM8 {Alex Deegan and David Carr} is a brilliant and extremely musical foray into progressive rock/fusion that is truly impressive.
The music contained here is adventurous and daring, conjuring up thoughts of golden era Rush, but sounding totally unique. Hats must go off to Alex and David for escaping the mechanical and overly complex clichés that come so often with prog territory- this music is well-written, great to listen to and an obvious joy for them to perform.
Alex’s drumming is creative, aggressive and interactive, all the while serving the music and driving and propelling it forward and matching David Carr’s intensity at every turn.
It’s great to have music of this caliber on our back doorstep that easily holds it’s own amongst other ‘giants’ of the genre.
Hey ANIM8! It's great to meet you, I really dig your progressive tunes! Keep up the fantastic work and we'll see you on stage! Thanks for the friendship and welcome to my haunted corner of musical doom.

Hi ANIM8, we wanted all of our Myspace friends to know that Glenn Hughes Tickets are now on sale & selling fast. No major advertising has started yet so this is just a courtesy heads up to fans so they dont miss out... There are only 3 OZ shows in total & it could be an early sell out!
Some fans have also asked if they can meet Glenn, so we are thinking about Platinum Tix for an after show meet & greet. Please send us a msg via Myspace if you think you would be interested.
Have a great day & hope to see you at a gig in April! GH & Band.

Hey Alex Thanks for the You Tube vid of Anim8 with Mark. I play it every day. Raise your glass tonight it's his birthday today, Love him Miss him Thanks again you gave Mark hope.
Loving the music from the album so much it was hard to imagine that it could get better and yes, it is possible. 'How' you say? This is the way --- go see Anim8 live!
Hey Alex and Dave, I received you CD yesterday in the mail. Replayed the album many times last night, the clarity of recording is awesome and I'm constantly finding myself rewinding to listen to drum riffs/beats and guitar solos. This'll be getting it's fair share of work in ye' ol' cd player. Certainly up there in my (ya gotta buy it) category.. the best Aussie Prog I've heard to date Brilliant work fellas!
