what a great ability to make such range of good music. keep it going germinate.

This album CRANKS!!! Everything any self-respecting progrock fan loves is on this CD! From the opener 'Oblique Left' to the uplifting closer 'Skeet Shoot', you are treated to some of the BEST musicianship you'll ever hear. Goocher is a MASTER at the art of groove, while weaving intricate progressive movements throughout this CD. His guitar playing is nothing short of brilliant...reminding me of Eric Johnson, Alex Lifeson, Jimi Hendrix, and Steve Morse rolled into one powerful, mind boggling delivery! His music is very unique, yet it manages to have a familiar quality about it, giving it immediate appeal as well as longevity. (something I greatly admire) I always hear something new and exciting that I missed before. This CD NEVER gets old. And, Goocher writes some of the longest, coolest progressing passages I've ever heard! It twists, it turns, it inspires! 'Germinate' is an adventure in listening pleasure...and the production is top-notch! You won't be dissapointed folks! Goocher is a name that will be on the minds and tongues of millions in this new millenium! Progressive, exciting, brilliant and fun!!! GOT GOOCH? GET IT NOW!!!

Goocher has a God-given talent for musical interpretation, and we ; the listener are most fortunate he chooses to share this gift with us. It takes more than mere virtuosity to be a GREAT artist. Composition, dynamics, passion and instinct play a key role in defining Greatness, and Goocher demonstrates all of these attributes on this fine CD of progressive soundscapes.

This CD has been on my most-played list for weeks. It's deep; the tones, the songs, the feel. Goocher reached deep down for this one, opening up and expressing his soul. You owe it to yourself to take this progressive journey with him. Check it out!
