Central Nervous System

Editorial Reviews
Jane Ganahl, San Francisco Examiner
In the tradition of Beck, San Francisco's own ledenhed (also a one-name artist) started working with two turntables and a microphone at open-mike nights, adding layers of sound samples as he progressed. The result of studio work with Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto) is a debut album of astonishing sophistication and startling textures. It seems no one told this guy that pretty melodies sung in an unfashionably fervent tenor would be out of place with hip-hop beats and screeching guitar riffs. "Super Myth," the obvious single, is dazzling. Playing gleefully in a sandbox squarely between worlds trip-hop, pop and punk ledenhed is something of a visionary. Watch for big things from this guy.

LMNOP for babysue
Hmmm... This individual is approching pop from a different angle.I like it...I like it...This CD took two ot three listens to sink in (which is always a good sign)...but once it entered my subconcious...it STUCK.

Best.... album.... ever........2005-07-06

I listened to this CD once. Then I listened to it again. Then I let it play a few more times through. I ran the complete gamut of emotions listening to it. It grabbed me too hard to use as background music so I sat, riveted, listening to the lyrics and the arresting melodies & rhythms. I was humming along to the catchy hooks in 'wannabe'; 'can't come down' stuck in my head and I was singing the refrain in the shower for a couple of days; 'reason' scared me silly the first time through with its dark tones and seemingly darker message, but in the end it turned around for me into a clarion call of triumph and resistance instead of a dirge of capitulation, submission and decay. My friend Kevan really liked 'mad parade,' and I have to back him up on that. Overall, it's the best album I've listened to, literally, in many, many months.

Beck & Trent Reznor had a back-stairs love child.......2000-07-12

...and his name is Ledenhed. Amazing album from the first cut to the last. Been a fan of Mr. Hed since his days with Riots of Boredom, and of his Riots bandmate, drummer Steven Fox, who plays on three tracks of this superb CD. Pick it up! You will not be disappointed.
