Album Notes

Randall Cousins has been creating and producing music for eons, drawing
his creative inspiration from the Universe and his own favourite musical
artists. Murder on the Ice Train reflects Randall's eclectic style and
his mastery over all the instruments at his disposal.

Born in Hamilton Ontario and currently residing in Brampton, Randall
uses his own private studio and facilities in Toronto to produce his
CD's. His primary goal in life is to grab the world by the ears and
make it listen.

Asked to name his deepest musical influences, Randall cites Orbital,
Proganda, Weather Report, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart and King
Crimson. The excitement of listening to brand new music, tapping the
creative soul of other artists, speaks to the need to create in
Randall's own heart.

With close to three hundred songs out there, Randall Cousins has already
made a name for himself on the Canadian Music scene. It's time for this
man's work to be taken to a higher level.

REVIEWS

SoundCheck Randall Cousins Murder On The ICE-Train Alleged Iguana Music. The various projects Randall instigates from his Toronto home base are noted for their innovation, both in the graphics and the music. The title of this project suggests a movie, and, sure 'nuff, your imagination is the only limit as to what you can see with help from such track titles as "Oink-da-Boink," "Chaotica," and "Euphoric Aftermath". There is no bowing down to genre or to outside expectations here; keyboards and guitars become surf boards of adventure, catching each new wave of possibility on the Great Sea Of What If. My best guess for a market starting gate is college radio, but the possibilities doubtlessly go beyond my imagination.

'Murder' is the most popular CD in the house
author: Alice C. Bateman
Digital space-jazz funky wonky sound is generally not my first choice in music, but ever since Murder on the Ice Train arrived, it's become the most popular CD in the house. I don't know if Randall Cousins intended that this music should play a movie called 'Murder on the Ice Train' in my head as I'm listening, but that's exactly what it does. And it's not only me who likes this so much, my nine year old son and my early-twenties nephew both love this CD. Randall is touching on something inside us with this music, something primal and basic, but lost in space. How on earth does he do this? Listen for yourself, I guess, see if you feel the same.
