Editorial Reviews
Larry Dossey, M.D.; private correspondance
"Sequencia is a quick step to an altered state of consciousness. There is beauty and power in it, great power."

Rick Weiss, New York Times
"Molecular music took an evolutionary leap a few years ago with Susan Alexjander...the music is sometimes mysterious, sometimes playful."

Album Description
This is neither pop or classical. It's a unique, state of the art blending of science and art, featuring original compositions which use tuning banks derived from the vibrational frequencies of DNA. It has been acknowledged as both excellent science and art by such media as the BBC, New York Times, The Economist and the IEEE Journal of Biology and Medicine. Electromagnetic frequencies found in the chemical bases of adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are translated into sound banks using a DX Yamaha synthesizer and special software. The acoustic instruments on the recording must tune to these tones which are mostly microtonal. The result is haunting sound which one reviewer called "invisible whispers within." At the same time this is classically composed music, not newage, written to be appreciated without the listener being aware of the process.

4 out of 5 stars good stuff.......2007-06-09

The more I listen to this group, the more I want to hear. They do what I call stock-rock, music that doesn't need to be focused on, but works really well in the back ground while house cleaning or taking the half hour drive to work or home. Good vocals, good musicians and not a "bomb" on the whole disc.

5 out of 5 stars Really talented guys........2007-02-23

This guys from Mexicali are back with this, their second album. I found it better than their first self-titled that was really good. And I can also feel a more mature group and better production. But the only thing missing for me on this album, is a cacthy song as the Top 20 hit "QUE VIDA LA MIA". The song that can be compared to that one is "NO SE PORQUE TE VAS" a really great song. In overall "SECUENCIA" follows the same roots of "REIK" which is for the ones who don't know much about Reik. A mix between pop and R&B, but they also sometimes touch rock like is the case of "SIN CONOCERTE" or "DE QUE SIRVE" but it's soft rock don't imagine something like AC/DC or Guns and Roses. The first single "IVIERNO" became a hit all over Latin America and reached #2 on Billboard's Latin Pop Airplay but even though they have success in Mexico and Latin America I wonder why they aren't bigger because they have all it takes. Talent, good lyrics and the vocalist has a very good voice.
Check the songs "SABES", "SIN CONOCERTE", "INVIERNO", "NO SE PORQUE TE VAS" and "VIVO EN SUEÑOS". Personally my favorite songs are "NO SE PORQUE TE VAS", "INVIERNO" and "ME DUELE AMARTE".

5 out of 5 stars JESUS HAS A GREAT VOICE!!!!!.......2007-01-31

I gotta say that Jesus' voice is just incredibly great!
this cd is really good!!! you wont be disappointed if you get it. "SABES" is the best Reik song, I just can't explain how incredible this song is so buy the cd so you can understand what im talking about!

5 out of 5 stars Reik, an excellent young band.......2007-01-19

This young Mexican band surprised me ! I discovered "Invierno" in holiday far away from home and the first thing I did back, was connecting on Amazon.com to buy the album (from France, difficult to buy young latino artists). This album is really really excellent. Voice (thank you Jesus N. for your voice !) and music bring you in another world. So, if you want to have a good time... buy it !!!

5 out of 5 stars Simplemente Excelente.......2006-12-30

Uno de los mejores CD's que he escuchado en mi vida. Esta inteligentemente construido. A mi siempre me ha gustado Reik pero es CD me convirtio en un fan! O sea es el unico CD que puedo escuchar cancion por cancion y no paso ni una, las escucho completa. Escucho el CD de principio a fin y lo vuelvo a escuchar, es algo increible. La primera cancion es un hook up, te transporta impresionantemente. Las canciones tienen un contenido muy profundo e importante en la vida. Me identifico con cada una de las canciones y comparto la manera de pensar que expresa la colecion de canciones. Lo recomiendo sin pensarlo dos veces. Es muy dificil decidir cual es mi favorita porque todas son excelentes pero me encanta "Quien decide es el amor", "Sabes" y "Me duele amarte".

    5 out of 5 stars The unexpected unexpected.......2004-06-03

    When I got Sequencia I entertained it with my usual skepticism
    for new music and especially music with the sub clasification of "Healing" or in this case derived from "Science". There are exceptions but in most cases these
    genre either wax sappy (the former) or are just down right
    boring (the latter). Sequencia soars so far above that
    comparisons simply detract. As a musician myself who uses the
    the synthesizer alot I have found that the sounds that Susan
    Alexjander conjures from her instrument are nothing less than
    uncanny. And yet this is not wild synth music. In fact she uses
    the synthesizer almost like an acoustic instrument setting
    themes and giving support to the other musicians. Then adding
    highlights or setting the direction for another foray into this
    unusual and unique music. If you are interested in "new" or
    "modern" music but often come away dissappointed I think you
    will find here music that is both deep and highly listenable.
