THE COLOUR OF MIDNIGHT
"The New York Room create delightful ethereal music complimented
by soprano female vocals that seem to soar as if in the clouds...Much of
the material is inspired from the Cocteau Twins ethereal sound with a darker
edge, and the track that really stood out was The Wings Of Night.
Overal The Colour Of Midnight is an enchanting release that is a pleasure
to listen to."
(California Music Zine)

"In the realms of Dream Pop, Darkwave,
and Gothic I have found the definition that would weave these classifications
together. The definition is The New York Room and the sweetness in diversity
they spin into an elegant web. This is a remarkable CD as well as great
way to understand The New York Room. Even the version of Paint It Black
is a creation all their own, dark yet full of textures. The whole CD is
a treasure to have and if you don't have it in your collection you'd be
a fool not to."

This work is filled with luscious beauty and hints of
darkness. I am in love with this album. It is dreampop in places,
and gothic and darkwave in others. What is most impressive are the
touches of classical that are sprinkled throughout and Sara Dellinger has
an amazing voice with great range...The 7" is just as nice as the album,
with a lovely French version of the Rolling Stones "Paint It Black."
This is so wonderful and highly recommended.

The music of The New York Room is on the boderline
between etheral and darkwave and Sarah Dellinger's wonderful voice reminds
me of Julianne Regan of All About Eve...There's something sinister here...even
the song titles invoke a certain atomsphere: "The Anatomy of Melancholy",
"Danse Macabre (Solstice Mix), and "Haunted," just to name a few.
There's also a fine cover of the Rolling Stones "Paint It Black". This
is part of the new breed of goth that takes what the old-school offered
and gives it a nice up-to-date twist.

| I can honestly say, that this band blew me
away. The music, is profoundly moving. I haven't stopped listening to it,
since I received it. There is not a weak cut, on this disc. This is the
soundtrack for the after life, that is, if you're deserving of great reward.
This is faint praise indeed, for a band that took me to a new place, altogether.
A place, that I'll visit as often, as I can escape to it. Gentle reader,
for your edification, I offer The New York Room.

Every now and again a band like the New York Room appears and, although
throwaway comparisons to the Cocteau Twins and All About Eve are accurate,
they're also meaningless. Any band that can perform a gloriously ethereal
track like 'The Gates of Heaven' in English and French, a dark Gothic version
of the Rolling Stones classic 'Paint it Black' AND an operatic piece, 'O
Mio Babbino Caro' without breaking a sweat, transcend comparisons and enter
the realm of pure talent.
Sara Dellinger has a beautiful voice that lifts you up into a dreamlike state, while the musicians weave a web of pure melody about her vocals. Review by
