EP Review Forbidden Dance
Nick Charles : “Very nice presentation too. It’s great that you’re putting out new work and good to hear a couple of famous songs. Can’t go wrong with a Cohen classic.
It’s a nice progression from your last album. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I reckon it will do well for you”.
CD Review Filtered Light
Prue Clark ” Still play and enjoy your CD. Your tunes come into my head uninvited, but I like them!”
Diana Wolfe “I’m loving your CD! The first song is a winner, and your instrumentals are just mesmerising.”
Frank Lai ” The songs are FANTASTIC!! My favourites are 1 and 10!”
Wendy Schaffer “A very impressive project. Moments of sheer brilliance and creativity.You need to write more songs. The harmony, pitch, tone and rhythm were very unique. I liked that about it the most.”
Andrew Rooke “Firstly congratulations for all the effort that so clearly has gone into a very professional production and for the artwork on the packaging. I like the quotations from Leonard Cohen on the cover .Me, being a blues and rock person from way back, I think my favourite is (strangely enough) ‘Burning Sand’, but there are so many others which I really liked too. The River with its spiritual message is certainly a favourite, as is Russian Caravan Tea in its new guise. I can see how far your guitar technique has come along since you gave away the 9-5 life, particularly on Isa Lei. Of course we share a love for the 1960s great such as The Moody Blues and Bob Dylan so both those tracks go down well with me. My wife Sue is a self-confessed ‘dog-tragic’ so Lullaby for Monty was certainly appreciated. I can see how much you have been influenced by the great music of the 60s with your use of guitar and harmonica reminiscent of Bob Dylan and Neil Young of that time My only criticism as a rock/blues person is that I would like more tracks with ‘oomph’ in them; perhaps a cover or two of Leonard Cohen for balance wouldn’t go astray either (particularly the spiritual LC such as Who By Fire, If It Be Thy Will). All in all though, you can see that I am hard put to pick a favourite and I certainly say a big ‘mubarak ho’ for a wonderful effort in getting this set together.”
