Perfect! Truely outstanding
author: Pat P,
I just listened to the CD -- twice -- on the way back to BG. Perfect! Truly outstanding. As much I loved Sirens' last CD, this one packs just as much punch. The flat out winner is track 5 ("SOS"). Please let that one fly worldwide. The song of my year.
But they are all amazing. My other particular favorites are #11 (Obi's Tears), #2 (I'll Be a Kite), #3 (Night Falls), #6 (Unveiled), and #9 (Mother of Loves).
I stopped into the office tonight just so I could respond to your email. As it happens, two of our grad students are in their office working on papers and projects to end the semester. One is from Sierra Leone (West Africa) and the other is from Kenya. They love #11, as well, and they are about to rave about the rest ...
Happy Day.

The CD flows superbly
author: Victor
This CD! Wow! I am SOOOOO diggin' it! Sirens fits. You guys absolutely
mesmerize me. Poetic lyrics, lovely melodies, very cool music and
arrangement that no one else is doing. The production and mix and
mastering are sweet. This is something to be pretty damn proud of! There
is no reason why ANY of it can't be played on the radio! To me it's in a
sense very Dave Mathews-ish, not so much in style, but in the fact that
some of the material has commercial viability without being obviously so,
and some of the material, although wonderful and easy to listen to, is very
much noncommercial. Awesome! I LOVE it! Very, very
nice. Whoever was responsible, a wonderful job was done on the song
placement. The CD flows superbly!
I would venture to crawl out on a limb, though not much of a risk, and make
the statement that this could very well be the best thing ever created in
Columbus!
My fav song out of the new material has been 'Mother of Loves' --
but now! Where did those bass lines come from??? I think you got like the
demon god of music to play those or something. My gosh. All the songs are
great, though. This is one of those CDs I can listen to from start to
finish and not worry about skipping (or suffering through) a track.
