Mr Romo's unique sound covers the complete musical spectrum everything from jazz, deep down tempo, country to house, world, Hip-hop, and rock.

However, when asked the question "what style are you" in a recent interview, Mr Romo replied, "An electronic musician who conforms to the unwritten rules of IDM". Romo continues "I'm a turntablist of sorts, and feel creating new music from snips of old is a true artform".

Contemplative Beats On Ice
author: Randinator-X
This CD is a great listen, both for sitting alone intently, and for low-volume background music. Ideally, the production could be improved (with a bigger budget) to provide greater clarity of the spoken word portions under the music, but it nevertheless remains a solid effort replete with clever compositions. Open your mind to the beats.
it's so different that I listen to this disc daily

I picked up this disc at one of Mr Romo's shows, I didn't quite know what to expect but was blown away. I have never heard anything quite like this. Maybe its a new genere, maybe its just the Mr Romo sound. I just can't get enough of this disc.
