I am really enjoying listening to the Cybase Project on my lengthy drive home from work. It's upbeat music makes you feel good and raring to go.

Incredible.
author: Peter Dent - New Zealand Musician June/July 2005
Incredible. A Kiwi keyboardist/songwriter/producer teams up with several musician/songwriter/co-writers from around the world...and they never meet! They all send their tracks from their home countries via email. The result is an exciting, varied set of easy listening, contemporary, melodic pop rock, with and obvious international flavour. Ian Rushton is "New Zealand's answer to Richard Clayderman" - a UK-born, self-taught pianist and guitarist. "The Cybase Project" is his third album since 2002. Rushton never gets in the way of the international soloists; instead preferring to colour the tracks with celestial light. German Wolfgang Menzel is the vocalist/collaborator on most of the album, and he brings an almost Axl Rose quality to the tracks. Contributions come from countries as varied as USA, Canada, Sweden and China! Technology has come so far that you can create an international album without leaving your bedroom.

A brilliant compendium of the modern era

This CD is a perfect example of innovation on many fronts. It has variety and freshness in musical approach and arrangement, a great diversity of talent, everything from sequencing to keyboards, guitar and vocal skill, as well as that special ingredient: soul. And to think it was all put together from various locations around the world is the final proof of its special character. Thumbs up to Ian Rushton and his team of collaborators. This CD is excellent.

What can I say......... This is a stellar set of songs played by a great bunch of musicians. Something of this level should really be signed to a major label. Ian Ruston will go places, mark my word, as will some of the other great artists featured on this project. A great example of using the internet to its full potential!
