Press Reviews "Great songs and production! I am barely half way through the first song 'Innocense' and am very impressed. This is very cool and exciting stuff. This is what truly excites me about the new technology. There are people in their bedrooms making some great music and that's what the music business should be about but currently isn't." -- Mark Hagen, Nashville based recording engineer (Celine Dion, Let's Talk About Love, 1997; Wynonna Judd, New Day Dawning, 2000; Michelle Wright, Greatest Hits, 2000; Faith Hill, Breathe, 1999)
