Album Notes

"experimental pop artist with intellectual grooves....Gooding explires post everything- ambient, trip-hop, cyberfunk" MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL APPEAL

"Ethereal, blending drum loops, scratching, airy synth and lovely acoustic guitar playing into one stirring result. Gooding has an intricate ability to take the listener on limitless journeys of the mind, as lush new age sounds suddenly meld with a mechanized back beat, such as the impressive "Technology's Nature" and "Machine Dance". "Derailed" is the product of an artist still experimenting with sound as fragile keyboards hover just above a rapid-fire Drum -n- Bass groove before giving way to a steadier beat, while "If the Empire Crumbles" comes from the Winter's Return sessions, and displays Gooding's guitar prowess. I cannot hear enough...."
JERSEY BEAT

Based in the "flyover zone" of Wichita, KS., the band Gooding has played more than 300 shows in 60 cities in 2yrs. They are 3 real performers who care about music above all else, and the audience that shares in that music with them.

Bombastic drums, deep and fuzzy bass, stark classical and syrupy electric slide-guitar, occasional loops and samples, a completely unique baritone voice, kind hearts, small egos and a gargantuan work ethic separates this band from anything before or after.

On tour constantly, supported by true fans spreading the word across the US, heard on over 500 radio stations, in the Matrix: Revisited and Matrix: Animatrix DVD's ,and on MTV's Road Rules and Real World, this band is playing their hearts out, taking no shortcuts, and earning one fan at a time while blazing a repeated path through the states with their devastating live shows.
