Press Reviews The Reviews: "The subtleties and richness of the musical textures add to make a music of spontaneous vitality. Very Italian, very Vangelis, very Baroque and mysterious." Audion Music Magazine, UK.  "Refreshingly original... the music possesses a dreamy impressionistic quality with long, sinuous melodic lines." NY Times  "A wonderful trip into the asteroids... a fully symphonic music of intense dignity and feeling" Variety  “The music has a breadth and a passion that searches across a wide spectrum...an ever-surprising range of techniques and timbres. Like Ives or Stravinsky, the disparate influences here add up to the convincingly melodious whole that is Electric Diamond.” Twentieth Century Music  "Turning rock and roll into chamber music may be as elusive a trick as the alchemists' dream of turning lead into gold, but Electric Diamond, at least to my ears has done it... ahead of its time." Miami Herald  Imaginative, visual, linear music -- the music Tolkien might have written if he had used a piano instead of a pen." Christian Science Monitor  "One of the genre's major talents." Rolling Stone  Achingly beautiful... indisputably a master of the medium." Newark Star Ledger
