4 out of 5 stars Intriguing Voice.......2005-12-31

I first heard this album in a used record store that I have since come to rely upon for introducing me to artists that I would never hear of otherwise. When I walked in that day, I thought they were playing Tori Amos at first, then it sounded like Bjork, and then it changed again to something even more distinct. I couldn't stand it, so I went to the counter and asked, "Who the hell IS this??" I was really caught by her voice, because it recalls several of the female singers I find most interesting, so I had to buy the album.

I haven't been disapointed with it. The other reviewers are right to point out that the whole album has a melancholy lullaby feel to it; however, I find new subtleties distinguishing each of the tracks every time I listen. It's a great rainy-day stay-inside-and-look-at-old-pictures album. Worth the money, so check it out!

Tania May-Bowers has been around for a while. She has been known to hang out with Prefuse 73 and El-P. Her too cool music recalls the chill-out sounds of Morcheeba and Massive Attack. This record takes all the hip elements of techno and hiphop and brings it to the people. "Lightning & Thunder" is probably the best track here. Anything Prefuse 73 does is very interesting. Prefuse is the hippest cat around. Maybe Via Tania can do more pop music in the future? Some of the songs seem like sketches of good ideas. When you get to the song "True" towards the end, you wonder why Tania doesn't do more stuff like this.

Caution: Under a Different Sky may cause drowsiness.

Listening to the new full-length album by Via Tania is much like needing a well-deserved nap. You don't want to go to sleep, but your body is telling you otherwise. The dreamlike nature of Under a Different Sky is led by the sultry singing style of Tania May-Bowers. Although her singing can sometimes come across as passive, it can also be very genuine and satisfying. Imagine Martina Topley-Bird (back-up vocalists for Tricky) and Macy Gray singing you sophisticated, yet depressive, lullabies about love and loss. With no sign of a good beat anywhere, and a BPM number of about 20, Under a Different Sky promises to set a strong sedative mood upon its listener.

With a long list of supporting musicians, including Scott Herren, Doug McCombs, and Howe Gelb, you can pretty much guess that Tania has selected a good staff to support her efforts here. Surprisingly enough, some are hits while others are less than appealing. The opening track, "I Dream Again," is produced by Scott Herren, and is actually one of the less engaging tracks on the album. The beginning of the song begins with the staple glitched beats and keyboards that made Herren's Savath & Savalas albums what they are. The samples slowly start to fade and allow the album to get to the point it's strongly aching to make. "Lightning and Thunder" and "The Rising" show a stronger and more confident approach, if only for a couple songs. "In the Deep" inevitably begs comparison to early Massive Attack, or even less clinical Portishead.

Under a Different Sky may not be everyone's cup of tea. The overall pace of the album tends to drag since most of the songs are strongly familiar in style. However, if you're one who likes melancholy and loss in your music, you're in for a pretty fun ride. There is plenty of sadness and despair here to share with your entire family. For those of you who are curious about Via Tania because the album is on Chocolate Industries, take note that this is not your run-of-the-mill hip-hop release that we've come to know them for.

If this is the first full length record from Via Tania, I can only be excited as to what the future holds.
This record took me a few listens to get to know but once it I did, it took a firm hold and only gets better and better.
There is a mix of genres and some heartbreaking singing styles, but I think this girl has roots in indierock and isnt all about being Chocolate Industries' Ashanti or whatever they say in reviews.There have been weirder comparisons than that even, but we should just see this as a completely new and unique songwriter on the block and sink into the record like it knowingly wills us to.
