Music Guide Review: Another side project of the confusing
world that revolves around Damien Youth, Kyte is the duo of Damien
Youth and Robyn Nice. The confusion? Well, they bill themselves
as the Kyte Brothers, Archie and Scott Kyte,
on this release. Also, the pair has recorded together as both the
Surprise Symphony and Magic Island. The difference
here is that Damien Youth takes the lead vocals, instead of
Robyn Nice, who did the vocals for the Surprise Symphony
and Magic Island. Whatever, Kyte's
self-titled 1998 album is pleasing, haunting 1990s psychedelia with
heavy echoes of Donovan and Pink Floyd, and
understandable similarities to the Surprise Symphony
and Magic Island projects. (2 1/2 stars) — Richie
