Press Reviews Cool song. It rocks, it grooves, it's funny, it scared the hell out of me. "Sixty miles of bad impressions." Very cool. I'm going to be humming this baby all night I just know it the pa-pa-pa-de-boo's alone are so infectious it kills me. Nice work (nice instrumental finish). /FORWARDED, MTM Music/Hey Alec - Yes, this is weird stuff, but good weird, in that Tom Waits "Swordfish Trombones" - Alex Harvey Kind of way - more alternative than anything else I've heard today. /FORWARDED. Zero Records - Spain./I love this song more each time I hear it. The vamp might be too excessive for me, but the acoustic ending is turific. /FORWARDED Disney Studios./Beautifully recorded but bizarre, don't have a clue what youre talking about, extreme and intruiging music. Sometimes less is more in the mix. But who could blame you for going over the top.Mr. Tom Waits lives inside your head Alec! Dig the cabaret weirdness, bigtime my friend. /FORWARDED, MCA Records/Whoa. This is insane. I love it. Wouldn't change a thing.Your whole aesthetic blows my mind. Totally unique. Great sense of dynamics, keeping even things changing all the time. Tons of "ear candy". The guitars sound great.Holy Swordfish trombones batman (I know I reviewed you before - you're lucky - don't complain). Call Mr. Tom Waits + tell him you want to do an album of duets with him - He'll do it, I just know it - (I'd buy it). /FORWARDED, MTM Music./It ain't commercial, Alec. Is the singer a Russian dude? The song is quite funny - although I don't care for the "white snow" drug reference.Still love it, 'cause I'm crazy - did you ever catch the "Sensational Alex Harvey Band" in your travels?Great musical interlude. Some solid melodies. Innovative instrumentation and arrangements (some really beautiful parts).A Birthday Ode to the Big Guy in the sky - how nice... I can hear small children around the world singing this door to door in snowy villages everywhere - (neat guitars!). /FORWARDED, MTM Music/The intro does have christmas melodics, great contrast with, nice melody on the "Merry Christmas to you". Good rhythms. /FORWARDED, Prestige Productions/Your voice is freaky, eerie and slightly mesmerazing.
