Marianne Nowottny - manmade girl, songs and instrumentals Double cd with 24 tracks Doug Wallen wrote in the Philadelphia Weekly December 2001:
"Afraid of Me" and its recent follow-up, the double-disc "Manmade Girl: Songs and Instrumentals" are hung with a morbid pallor that seems unlikely the young woman chatting so excitedly about her varied interests over the phone. If the tortured moodiness of Nowottnys recordings is not alltogether apparent in her personality, her boundless flambouance and surreal imagination do make a strong mark on her music. In a throuty voice that well disguises her age, she often sings of the otherworldly poetry lurking behind a modern living.
"In a world of X-ray people and X-ray walls/ In a world of paper money and paper dolls," goes a chorus of Mandmade Girls title track, "I guess Im a mand-made girl living in a man-made world".
