Setp Magazine 2000
"5th Element is the beat of a woman whose lost love has taken her on a journey through pain, pleasure and indeed, the very heart of the Sun".
Music Connection 1999
"Soul pop duo 5th element present a mixture of diva-easque vocals and synth-heavy dance grooves".

There's something about this CD that makes you want to put it in your car and just drive. It seems as though every song was about me and incidences which have occured in my life. I loved every track on this CD. The voice of Lynn Walton puts you in a trance and makes you get addicted to her. You can dance to almost all of the tracks. We should be hearing this stuff in clubs soon! Tony Down does a great job with the music. WHO IS THIS GUY? AND WHERE HAS HE BEEN? There is everything in this CD from Mediteranean sounds, to Arabic chants to dance mixes. It's jam packed with everything.

I was stunned when I heard the CD Blue Rain. It is right up there with Enigma and Chicane. I am dying to find out if the group will release another CD in the near future. Have Lynne Walton or Tony Down collaborated on other music projects? I would get it immediately.

One of my favorite movies, The Fifth Element, featured a moving musical scene with a blue diva. That feeling and vibe has transcended into this debut offering, a collection of haunting, yet pulsating, tracks dressed in a world music veneer. The effusion of classical, ethnic, techno, and rock musical influences, all fronted by the fifth element, a dynamic r&b styled diva on vocals, makes for one of my favorite CDs this century and proves that some of the best music today can be found on small independent labels.
