Sounds Like
"Frank Frenzy is truly a virtuoso guitar player, and all the brutal evidence radiates from this set. Sheer bliss, from track one ... Easily one of the best chill-out records I have ever heard". The Big Takeover magazine, New York
"It's not often I hear an album that I truly wish I'd been involved with, but Violence Ambience is definitely one of them. A marvellous album from start to finish, the music is entrancing and has been produced with incredible care and taste". Haydn Bendall - Producer/Engineer (Kate Bush, Dave Gilmour)
"I loved Violence Ambience… I got completely drawn into it, every word was so well placed, nothing overstated, nothing wasted". Benjamin Zephaniah
"Mindblowingly brilliant". Johny Brown - Resonance FM
'Reminiscent of DJ Shadow's down-tempo work, or maybe Portishead on anti-depressants. At once emotionally hard-hitting and delicately balanced, this 7" presents a beguiling new presence in British music'. The Skinny Paper
'An instant trip-hop classic. Immediately memorable, both compelling and haunting, ‘Three Cliff Bays’ is completely breathtaking.' pennyblackmusic.co.uk
'Delivers what may well be one of the highlights of the
year so far. Mesmerisingly David Lynchian'. Tasty Fanzine
'It's a knockout. The themes are wonderfully dark, and conjure incredibly detailed imagery in the listener's head. The B-side is just as tasty. The spoken-word samples gave me chills..... Powerful stuff from a trio that just gets better and better'. Big Takeover Magazine, New York
'Luminous’ vocals are the real draw, almost hypnotic and in a past life she probably lured sailors over board to their doom. Thankfully, here we can simply bask in their beauty. Outstanding work all the way. One to watch.' gigwise.com
'A haunting tune somewhere between Aphex Twin's 'Nannou' and Zero 7, and layered with the glossy lipped, sedated Alison Moyet vocals of Luminous'. rockmidgets.com
'Residing in the same silky sonic territory as the likes of Zero 7 and Frou Frou. A gorgeous and intoxicating sounding single, leaving you desperate to hear more'. ukmusicsearch.co.uk
Luminous has been voted one of the world's 'TOP 100 FEMALE DJs' - click |here| for info.

'Violence Ambience' is the debut album from Luminous Frenzy. Created with Producer Guy Jackson it’s a touching, sad and often sinister journey through first hand experiences of violence that weave their way through a delicate, almost pastoral soundscape.
The epic McEmotion was written for McLibel, a film selected by the National Film Theatre as one of "10 documentaries that changed the world" and showcased on BBC2’s Storyville season.
A modern day Alan Lomax, Luminous Frenzy’s audio library of real world experiences are an eerie frozen timepiece of contemporary British life.
"I sit in my back garden at night and just listen, so ambient, so beautiful - yet underneath, all I can hear is the constant scream of violence all around the world"
