Amazing, saw them at Nelson Ledges
I saw this band at Nelson Ledges and was blown away. Bought this CD and have no regrets. The CD sounds great and the music takes you and does not let go. Most if not all my friends who come over loved it because I can't stop showing it to people. A must get for any fans of great music.

Absolutely phenominal!!. . .
This CD is absolutely phenominal!!. . . I saw them at Nelson's Ledges and I was just blown away! The live performance was great. I bought the CD as soon as I got home. There is not a bad track on it.

Fan

Mesmerizing
How a three-piece can produce such engaging, beautifully crafted music is beyond my level of understanding. I cannot wait to see this band rock the shit out of nelson's ledges. In regards to word association Moser Woods = musical genius.

Saw Moser Woods at Bell's in Kzoo which they rocked out. The CD is awesome and has not left my CD player since. Its a CD that takes you on a journey and begging for more.

A Great Listen
Being from Indiana, I support local bands. Moser Woods is a great band. Tryptophan is very relaxing. But yet is fun and exciting at the same time. No matter the mood you are in, any song from the Tryptophan CD will make you feel great. I can't get this out of my cd rotation. Thanks Moser Woods!

Progressive, Experimental, and Psychedelic
Over a year in the making, Moser Woods are releasing Tryptophan, a massive slab of 14 tracks running 73 minutes. While Tryptophan is the famed chemical in turkey that makes one sleepy, the music of Moser Woods will do anything but put you to sleep, and the album ain't no turkey. Sure, it’s a three piece combo consisting of guitar, keyboards, and drums, but like any good power trio these three come together to form a huge sound. Witness "Intro" a shimmering atmosphere of Gilmour-esque guitars that lead the way to "Sirkus," where an orange sun slowly appears over the mountains only to take an ominous turn when the piano leads the band to a heart pounding finale. Or "Bididadow" where urgent yet clean piano and guitar play linear melodies that intermix like a fugue. "Aquarius Invertigo" is a brief respite of melodic solo finger picked acoustic guitar before the band Dive bombs into "Nasty Pans," a manic improvisational whirlpool of distorted rock guitar, orchestral strings and drums held together by a repeating chromatic figure, a compositional technique also used in "First Song," albeit with jazz guitar chords. The title track is a minute of heavily flanged noise that alternates with ring modulated tones, just to see if you’re listening, before "Bipolar Wheather" begins with theremin-like sci-fi sounds, a reedy organ and loads of dissonance. "Nodes Of Change" is a pleasing stroll through a quaint European Village, a village where a brawl breaks out, but they're all neighbors, so there's no real spite, just astounding performances from all three members. The album ends with three whoppers, each clocking in around 10 minutes. You just have to hear these to appreciate their far reaching impact, preferably with headphones. Describing their music as progressive, experimental, and psychedelic, Lance Hoeppner, Shaun Bryan, and Rick Kinney have given a humble forest quite a legacy with Tryptophan, their first album full of songs that appeal to the head as much to the heart.

Just astounding performances from all three members...

Okay
I liked this album for a time. It would be interesting to see where this band goes. They have a lot of potential. Not a bad record for a new band at all. looking forward to a future release with a more developed sound.
