Details:
It's the little things that mean a lot... like a good song, for example. Matt and Joanne Engel of Remote Impact are firm believers in the "butterfly effect." This EP is the first flutter of their wings as a band. "Butterfly" features five songs from their forth-coming debut album, "the escape." The versions of the songs on this EP are different from what will appear on the album though. This limited edition disc is autographed by both Matt and Joanne. Why wait for the album to come out when you could be listening to these exclusive arrangements of the songs right now???

"Butterfly" lyrics:

I guess it's true that there comes a day
When a person has nothing left to say
Many years have passed all too quickly

Ask but never tell
From these shadowless words
Whispers have gone
It has been said right into my soul

Through joy, through sorrow
I have prevailed
I have lost, I have won
It's really all the same
Either way and either way
It was fun

All over the world
People work themselves into oblivion
As they never know I am a butterfly

Ask but never tell (I am a butterfly)
From these shadowless words
Whispers have gone (I am a butterfly)
It has been said right into my soul

It's really all the same
Either way and either way
People work themselves into oblivion
They'll never know you like I do
They'll never know you are my sunshine
And you are my sky

Butterfly EP Review
"I would compare [Joanne Engel] with Suzie Anderson [of The Side Project] except this voice travels higher and has a different approach to the overall sound, which is backed by Matt's guitar and skilled drum programming, along with her playing piano. Joanne reminds me of Zadok from Mercir, blurring the boundaries between male/female voices with clear choir pitches and an occasional rich edge of the soul element. The genres of Art Rock and Piano Rock now blend nicely together... It's optimistic music at its most optimistic."

10/29/06 Concert Review
"Joanne Engel of Remote Impact sings like a delicate flower that has been vastly underestimated by the asphalt jungle it spouted from. I saw her play at Oh! Gallagherâs open mic the other night. When she first began to play her pretty piano driven melodies I wondered if this environment â rock club/sports bar â would support her style of performance. My concerns were laid quickly to rest when the patrons put down their pool cues and beer glasses to clap and cheer emphatically after she completed her first song. Surely her style will draw comparisons to other piano songwriters, such as Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. She also has a very Jewel-esque quality to her voice when she sings her softer whispery parts. She flits between soprano and alto while painting a flowery picture with artful words punctuated by dancing piano keys."
