What an inspiring cd! even made housework fun....nice diversity, so often lacking on solo artists releases. Really fun to listen to - good road tripping, too.

This cd rocks!  Totally amazing.  Remember doing things like following around the Dead or Neil Young during summer tours?  I swear when I listen to this, I feel like a summer night on a hill somewhere just trippin' out to Neil.  Plus mixed with Pacific NW island life somehow, too, though.  There's one track with rain -- then the next track with the diggeridoos.  The digggs sound like fog horns after a hard rain.  It's the musical sound of life on Puget Sound in the more magical vortex areas! I love it!

Brent Magstadt has created a very eclectic sound on this CD.  His background in music melds his classical compositional skills with his love for jazz, funk, and rock.  The rock influence, mainly a crunching 4/4 beat, underlies most of the tracks on this CD.  Most songs gravitate toward a “latino-Santana-istic” groove such as on Percolator, Hairball, Samba De Los Rockos, and Ami Grooves, however Brent’s own guitar solo work borderlines faster, Satriani-type melodies.  Anyone that knows Brent also knows his humorous side as revealed in the prelude L’Inizio and the postlude L’Estremita…both being unique instrumentation as well as using Italian words to open and close his fabulous work in between (Dr. Johnston would be proud).  I could go on, but they want us to keep this short, so…great CD Brent Magstadt, and keep creating!
