    Press Reviews
    "This is nothing short of terrifying. A good sort of terrifying. Squishy employs dub, samples & other chemical equations.....sounds like Maggot Brain, nitrous and the Mad Professor in a food processor. With ominous low-end they bring in horns & guitar to remind us that they did not leave the planet to do this........scarey."Todd C. Roberts, Urb Magazine ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................sQuiSHy-"sQuiShY" (aQuApHoNiC) 3*** of 4..................................................................."The inspired digital manipulator Sir Real is part of the five-man collective that is SQUISHY, a group of electronic/ computer musicmakers, artists, internet broadcasters & techno-hippies who sequence, sample & groove through eight funky tracks fot the far side of the millennium. In keeping with the open-minded spirit of their chosen medium, you can check the groups sound free on the web before investing in this delightfully trippy debut."....................................................Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times. ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................." Funky and atmospheric, Squishy explores the sonic regions of outer space with a trippy jazz-inspired melange of positive vibrations, hypnotic percussion and aquatic vocals. Opening track "In the Beginning" (clocking in at just over 12 minutes) is comparable to an extraterrestrial psychedelic odyssey, wheras "Space" & "Freedom" sound more akin to a 21st century offering from Issac Hayes. Clearly, the emphasis is on experimentation and the expansion of musical boundaries; the result, is undeniably successful. "..............................Gina McIntyre,Illinios Entertainer.........................................................................................................................................................................................."Wreathed in stage smoke and slashed by multi-colored strobe lights, Squishy serves up theatrical.. entertaining funk-hop-edelia that merges Hendrix-y hard rock, soulful crooning and spaced-out synthesizer excursions." ........................................Rick Reger , Chicago Tribune. ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................"This music deserves your attention ....and I mean now.".........................................................Rich Santoro , syndicated music critic. ................................................................................................................................................................................................"This music is beautiful. The vocals are extraordinary, the guitars are killer....everything is so damn original. It gives me hope.".................................................Paul, a listener , Denver, USA.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."Squishy is all about experiencing the psychedelic and sharing a good live groove.". ................................................Cudra Clover , Velocity Magazine ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................for sQuiShY information retrieval :contact:.......................................................... aQuApHoNiC mEdiA ......................................................................................................................www.sirreallabs.com ..................................................................................................................tel: 312-409-3160 ....................................................................................................................chicago-usa .......................................................
