about

Originally released in 1998 on Trance Syndicate Records out of Austin, Tx.

Review from Austin Chronicle:

MOMENTS AWAY (TRANCE SYNDICATE)
In their five-year existence, these Austin-to-L.A. transplants have waded knee-deep in both fuzz-pop and ambient dance rhythms. While their tendency toward genre-shifting always kept things interesting, Moments Away is the first Furry Things outing that really hits a long-lasting stride. By not trying so hard to push the envelope, the new album ends up being much more cohesive and accessible than last year's Hedfones EP. The Furry Things still revel in the glory of sound-on-sound to the nth degree, but drifting back to traditional pop structures lends both strength and focus to the band's explorations into trance. As a result, "I Can Lie" and "This Machine" are transformed into alluring singles-in-waiting; their competing melodies conspire to pleasantly disorient you, while a subtle, decadent rhythm tempts you toward the slow-and-low groove. Meanwhile, bassist Cathy Shive plays the role of chanteuse and coos some of the sexiest lead vocals this side of "Justify My Love." The tranquilized funk of "Overload" harkens back to Kraftwerk and sets another high-water mark. Moments Away is a thoroughly unpretentious and enjoyable dance album for people who like to listen to music sitting down.
