Album Notes

"..one of the most eagerly awaited albums in the world of podsafe music...an excellent album.." - Gabor Kovacs, Podcast User Magazine

"Vancouver's Id Guinness made magic .... EASILY one of the most underrated artists .... A tremendous talent." - Ryan's Smashing Life, Boston

"He possesses a great and wonderful talent and he's been using it well… It's a rarity for an artist of today's music world to still have this ability. Really lovely stuff!" - Gavin H., INFUZED, Glasgow

Over the years, Id (rhymes with Syd) Guinness has performed and recorded with several Canadian artists and bands - including The Wyrd Sisters, kd lang, Randy Bachman, and the late BB Gabor. Several of his songs have been on Canadian radio playlists including 'Open Your Heart' - the title cut of an African famine relief benefit album, a co-write with Duane O'Kane, which was sung by a cast of many and played across the country. Id received a West Coast Music Award and an Oxfam Canada Award for his work on the project.

As a solo artist, Id contributed a track to the Vancouver anthology 'Eight on Eight' and released the six-song EP 'Beat the Heat.' He has written themes for Shaw TV productions and his music for the 16 volume 'SelfTalk' series by Lee Pulos was distributed world-wide by Time-Warner.

More recently, Id has been writing and recording new material. His latest CD "Cure for the Common Crush" has just been released.
