About the music
Pounce International is an electronic music project that combines
beautiful, dimensional ambient tracks with powerful rhythm to create
atmospheric tracks with strong movement and feeling. The material is
emotional, visceral, and tends to involve the listener as it drives
visual introspection and physical interaction. Droning tones swirl
in space punctuated by beeps and articulated noises. Melodic lead
lines cut through and are anchored by strong percussive elements.
The material is an interaction of man and machine, of real and
surreal. The songs are dichotomous: dark and pretty, delicate
and masculine, mechanical and organic. It is music in the
information age.
About the band
Pounce International was formed in 1991 by Rev. Paul W. Campbell
Jr. and has existed primarily as a studio based project to make
challenging emotional electronic music. In 1995, Pounce International
was signed to Furnace Records, a division of Silent Records, and
released its first full length CD "The Populace Oracle" in 1996.
The group included Sou Broskowitz on vocals and Chris Seifert on
guitars. Robb Jarrett later joined to add live drums. Pounce
International is a member of ASCAP

Reviews
"Amazing. The programming...untouchable, the samples...intelligent, the
vocals... riveting and exciting and so melodic, hypnotic, and powerful
they'll take you to a different world altogether." - N-Zyme
"This is what every electronic geek should own. Stop raving about Aphex
Twin, Pounce International is the new kid on the block. Paul Campbell is
an electronic genius and we should all bow down to him." - Buzzkill
"...well oiled mix of ambient, spacey soundscapes, soundtrack melodies, and
hard rhythms...really impressive work" - Godsend
"...a brilliant example of industrial soundtrack material. The music
presented here is emotionally charged and intricate. Heavy drums punctuate
soundscapes that that propel themselves forward with gritty synths, clever
composition, and those all important media samples at just the right
moments." - Cybernoise
"Yes, this time I did save the best for last. Pounce International is a
finely tuned bit of dance beats, crisp electronics and occasional female
vocals all melded into coolly realized compositions." - ARC #4
"...beautiful melodies mixed with some disturbing samples, and the
result is haunting...an impressive debut for Pounce International" - Infectious Substance
"...pretty and executed to perfection" - Aiding and Abetting
