Albums "Balancing Act"

Press Reviews From Chaos Realm - USA - JORDAN MACARUS - "Balancing Act" CD '00 (Monster, US) - Jordan has been my ultimate guitar player, in any genre of music, ever since I heard the monolithic Winterhawk LP of 1982. Here, Mr. Macarus keeps that role more than alive with a sterling set of 9 cuts. They range from the timeless, folk-like simplicity of "Pointless War" and "Pvt. Unknown" to the involved hard rock epics of the title cut and the massive 9 min "Wall Of Fire." Thru it all, Jordan fronts his band with veteran ease. His throaty vocals convey more emotion than most operatic singers and his guitarwork is devastating. I have never heard a person who can combine both technical ability and sheer, raw feeling the way this guy can. No words can describe it, you must hear! :::::: Jordan Macarus - "Balancing Act" CD (from Chicago-Music-Scene.com)"He's one of those few guitarists that make those strings truly come alive." ::::::::: Jordan Macarus - "Balancing Act" CD (from Edge of Time - Europe)"Examples are the title track with some of the best twin guitar soloing heard this year and the 9 minute epic "Wall of Fire" which starts peacefully before building up to a frenzy of intense guitar playing.
