notes

He has worked with many legends of the music industry, such as
Bob Dylan, John Prine, Donald Byrd, Jackson Brown and Eden
Ahbez to name a few. In 1991 won a Grammy for sound
engineering and playing drums on John Prine's "The Missing
Years" C.D..

In 2003 KONAMI and Akiea Yamaoka, released PlayStation games called "Silent Hill 3"
and "Silent Hill 4" with soundtrack albums featuring Joe's vocal on
"Hometown" and Cradle of the Forest".

Joe has also recorded a large catalogue of his own songs and
instrumentals, with many co-writes on band projects such as The
Marc Tanner Band, Soy Cowboy, Doug Hamblin and Meat
Sandwich.

His songs genre's range from simple love songs, to politically
incorrect social statements. From acoustic folk to high energy
dance tracks, Joe's eclectic taste comes from early influences of
The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Louie Prima, John Cage
and Karlhein Stockhousen.

A drummer/bassist/guitarist/programmer who sings and writes
music produced from his Shadow Box Studio. Always looking for
new sounds, projects and artists to record.

Many of Joe's band projects got to the point of recording a demo,
then fell apart due to the usual various reasons: financial, ego or
drug overdose-related band crap. It's a fact of life, bands break up. We've all seen it before even in the best of bands, like the Beatles,
The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Windows...what, you
never heard of The Windows? That's because they broke up
before their record was released. Their career was shattered
when the lead singer Crystal Payne joined the Hammers. Now
their recordings are put on a shelf and forgotten.
Now in this wonderful age where music can be sold on the
internet, it's possible for his songs and productions to be heard.
Joe's taken the best of his shelved songs from the past and
created something he calls "Past Masters" Vol.1, 2 and 3.
This Vol.3, is the Darker side of life! Songs with a darker feeling,
deeper thoughts, social issues, scary thoughts, there's even a
Vampire song.

This CD maybe a TREASURE, or it may be GARBAGE,
as ART aways is! Buy one or collect all three!

  • What a Catalog of great tunes!
    author: KGLO Studio

    It Never ends x3...says it all!!! I LOVE VOL. 3...Is Vol 4 coming out soon?

  • Interesting mix of textures and deep voice.
    author: Aldo G.

    Wow! That voice is deeper than Leonard Cohen's, but just a little more twisted. This is the guy that sang on the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack, that's what brought me here. Kind of a Bowie vibe. When I heard the sample of "A Second Time Calling" online, I was sold, but when I heard the whole song it really opened up. This CD really takes me on a journey few CD's do theses days. Thank you!

  • Shadows and light - Great variety of mood and sounds
    author: Doug Stone

    My favorite of the 3 Romersa CDs. Lots of variation of sound and tempo with darker moods. He's a drumming virtuoso among other things. Reminds me a bit of some of Ginger Baker's stylings, when he was with Cream. Made to be listened to with headsets.

  • Past Masters Volume 3 Brings it all together with mood and groove!!
    author: Love Planet Records

    This CD has a great collection of smooth moody songs on it. From the opening Second Time Calling, to It Never Ends x3 and others, Joe has written a solid collection of catchy, mood driven tunes to wrap up this Past Masters series. Every track takes you on a very cool journey. From groove to attitude, these track get you absobed into their hypnotic groove riffing tracks. Great for completing your collection! I enjoyed every track of all three past masters volumes!!

  • Wonderful CD with a moody vibe and some cool grooves
    author: Joy - Film Music Media Group

    Wonderful CD with a moody vibe and some cool grooves. Some of this one is dark, and I enjoy that very much. It also has the fantastic pounding beat and rhythm Romersa is known for.
