Metro, April 2000
Pavement, June/July 2000
New Zealand Herald, June1999



This one from 'Real Groove' June issue:
Auckland group 'Mistake Theory' have attracted international attention, and in their case this support is fully justified. Since 1998, Alan Brown (keyboards), Sonya Todd (vocals), Johnny Fleury (samples and guitar effects [sic]) and Matthias Sudholter (percussion and didgeridoo) have been working together on the tracks that have now surfaced on their self-titled debut album. With similarities in their trip hop/electronica style to Massive Attack and Tricky, their atmospheric beats are soothing and optimistic, with added bursts of drum and bass, all wrapped up in Todd's rich vocal style. Mistake Theory (Raven) is a cruise-control-paced excursion into what's good about home recordings...
