Yeah, that's what fans could expect from the duo that delivered "Rapture" and "At The End." The same good old electronica and Nadia's haunting voice. And we are still waiting for IIO's full-length début album. Perfect Beat, please keep us informed!!! Leonardo Cinelli from Brazil. (L.C., 1/5/2005 see all my reviews >> )

i love this song. actually more than "smooth". and i love ford's remix. but what is this , like the forth single? where's the album? (g.k., 12/7/2004 see all my reviews >> )
Okay this is a great song but Ford remix sends people screaming off my floor with their ears covered! The beats are way to hard, I would think they could easily blow out regular home speakers. It's a good mix but the beats are just too hard. Other that that I think it's their best track since Rapture. (D.W., 4/13/2005 see all my reviews >> )
This must be a big release. This is actually CD1, CD2 is the Club Remixes. If you go to their website, http://www.maderecords.com/made.htm POETICA is available to order there. The Club mixes are coming. This new release sounds promising. The vocals are awesome! (P.d., 12/4/2004 see all my reviews >> )
This is a great record, and the vocals, as usual, are amazing. Although this tune may not be as memorable as some of Iio's previous work, this is, nonetheless, essential listening. Buy this CD! (W.A., 12/2/2004 see all my reviews >> )
While this is a much stronger offering than Iio's previous single "Smooth", it still isn't quite up to the level of "At The End" or Rapture" but who's complaining??? The original version is nice and strong and is actually my favorite...in the absence of any essential remixes unfortunately. Fords version is sort of "trance-light" but holds up better than any of the other offerings like the bizarre Dirty German remixes with its 80's freestyle tinged elements or the way-too-long remix by Scotty Marz, it drags on for so long and loses steam about half way through. The Frank Bailey mix is nice but not much to get too excited over. Overall, the strength of this single still makes me look forward to the full-length "Poetica" (like i've BEEN looking forward to it for YEARS now....hello, Iio...where is it already???)

 Makes one wonder what is going on at Made Records. I have been patiently waiting like everyone else for 3 1/2 years for this album to be released. I sure hope it's worth the wait. Runaway was not supposed to be the release this time, but "BE IT" was supposed to. Last minute, changed their minds. Overall, the mixes save this single, with a second club mix cd on the way. I am giving them props to happily pleasing us with a great musical effort. (D.M., 12/19/2004 see all my reviews >> )
It's becoming a tradition of dj's to snatch up anything with Iio's name on it. That's because this pair is absolutely incredible. They bring a sophistication and nuance to house music that is sorely lacking. Whether it be trance or deep progressive house, they sound amazing. "Runaway" is consistent with this, if not a complete standout. For me, the mix that captures the special quality of their sound is the Frank Bailey mix. I like Ford's interpretation, but what's up with the bpm? It's chipmunks on speed! Has Hi NRG trance gotten THAT fast?? --djmarkmarquis (M.M., 12/17/2004 see all my reviews >> )
No matter what IIO has tried, nothing can compare to their very first (and only) huge hit, 'Rapture.' This new release isn't too bad & they're trying to capture that magic of 'Rapture,' but... nice try, IIO! Once again, people will remember IIO as 'Rapture' -- DJ X.
