This sonic on-slaught bears the likeness of that offered forth by The Police, Jeff Buckley, Peter Gabriel, and some of the bittersweetness of the Seattle scene of the early nineties. He adventurously takes on the unenviable task of performing all of the instruments and producing all of the songs on this CD, with the exception of the very melodious and laid back fretless bass playing of Tom Latawiec on 'The Meantime', 'Next To You', 'It Won't Be Long' and 'Nothing' and drums on 'Cry' performed by Dave Spadafora.

The Brasilian inspired guitar intro accompanied by tabla & shaker will bring you into the midst of the conception of the title track, "Next To You". Syncopated drums will inspire even the most laid-up hip surgery patient to throw down. This superb CD features lush vocal harmonies that critics have been comparing to The Beatles, a chromatic train of thought throughout the slide guitar solos, gargantuan orchestral voicings on the guitars and beautifully provocative bass lines.

Ethnic percussion laces the opening track, "The Meantime", only to relinquish its grip to a freight train of surgically sharp clean guitar and six string fretless bass. There is a smoothness to the chord progression that will leave you only to flow as a story of dedication and devotion makes you revel in what you have and long for even harder what you don't.
