The feedback so far

It’s been a little over 3 weeks since we self-released “Gamechanger“, and the feedback has been extremely positive! Thousands have downloaded it, and people seem to REALLY enjoy it, so that makes us very happy. A lot of effort was put into creating the album and self-releasing it, and it’s just the beginning…

We chose to let people download it for free because we need it to be heard and embraced by many.  We would love to play shows around the world and come to your town, so all we need is that you guys spread the word, share the URL with your music-loving friends, request aKido on your local indie radios, magazines, blogs and concert promoters. The rest should take care of itself.


Oh, if you haven’t already –
Donate, buy the Compact Disc or buy on iTunes.


Here are a few reviews:

Around in Sound – Toronto/CAN
“Find me a better electronic album. This one will put any to the test.”

Liquid Jesus – Tampa/USA
“…we will say – loud and clear, that this diverse collection of gorgeous experimental electro rock (especially with it’s richly textured beats and shimmering melodies, and a whole slew of interwoven, atmospheric samples) has got what it takes to at least set itself far apart from the rest.

Bande-a-Part - Montreal/CAN (in french)
“Il n’y a pas de faiblesse à ce disque qui se prend comme un dessert fin”

Bloggertronix - Toronto/CAN
“If you are an electronic music fan worth your salt, you should check out ‘Gamechanger’”
