Notes
'Imagine the Chili Peppers trying to write a modern version of '21st Century Schizoid Man' and succeeding. The music kicks ass and they manage to include the words absinthe, carpaccio and escargot in the lyrics.' ...'it is the best sounding self-released album I can ever remember hearing. If they told me that this was recorded at the Record Plant or Electric Ladyland studios with Jack Douglas behind the board I would totally believe it.' Tom Karr - Progressive World ----------------- REVIEWS of 'TOWER OF TUNA' by other Listeners Like You from Around The World ----------------- Space-out!! This is good - I'm thinking Pink Floyd good, here! The song has an American, southern-accent sound - but from the early 70s. Original and clever use of synths and samples, and great melody... sounds liek something a jazz keyboardist would write. Very interesting mix of old classic Ray Charles soul with 70 Brit Prog, and maybe... a little Hendrix? This is intense, and very well shaped, and everybody is taking advantage of their own talents. All in their own pocket, not overly self-indulgent, superbly done. Great new version of Progressive rock! - e. from Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------- Corrosion meets Sgt Pepper... The introduction to this song incorporated sparse classic rock lead stylings which could be likened to Jimmy Page and more recently Pepper Keegan. As we progressed through the first verse, the distorted guitar line was perfect in it's tone as well as heavy but not without a sense of groove. The vocal precision and tone was a perfect accompaniment, sitting nicely in the mix. Again the voice was reminiscent of Johnny Garcia of Kyuss fame with a touch of Pepper Keegan. Grainy and edgy. Up until the end of the first chorus, it was but a great groove rock tune. But then out of no-where appears a horn/saxophone sections. From this point on, the song takes a dramatically unexpected turn. The drums explode into a full time assault on the senses. The highlight of the song, which was most unique in it's approach, was the saxophone/lead guitars playing off one another. Anybody into good rock, and bored of the same old predictable outcomes would enjoy this song. It provides a refreshing change from what has been, yet somehow manages to still be respectful of the rock tradition. Fantastically new. - m. from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia ----------------- me likes excellent. Love the guitar work. Very original. ^#^love the horns. ^#^again they add originality. ^#^guitar tone is excellent. ^#^drums sound very raw. Vocals are gritty. I think you guys are on to something here. I think you've created your own style. ^#^awesome!!! - m.d from Dallas, Texas ----------------- Masters interesting entrance of atonal guitar and beautiful overtones. You recreate sonorous landscapes of a formidable way. Excellent instrumentalist, arrangement is superior in truth, did not hope to find this jewel... Music pleases to me is sensual and later the voices... are good, the singer has a special form to place the voice, he has good technique, so that the overtones of their voice are not listened to tense, that is very gráto as it listens, excellent arrangement as much in music as in the voices. Great work, excellent form to appreciate music. - L. from México, Distrito Federal, Mexico ----------------- Tower of music. A lot to take in up front. Lots of nice textures. ... The groove for the vocals is solid. Once the vocals start this gets very interesting. The song really takes off with a lot of tasty directions. Love the light hearted lyrics. Wow, this is a fun catagory. Vocals are very good. Guitar is dancing around a solid bass and drums. Not sure what voice your using on the keys/guitar, maybe it's a horn. Can't tell. But it's the bomb. Drums on ending is off the charts. Some of the most interesting stuff I've heard. Are you familiar with I Mother Earth. It's the only thing I can compare this to. Most Excellent. - t. from St. Petersburg, Florida
