    Press Reviews
    "Gary's a high-energy, two-handed groove machine." Greg Howard Stickist for the Dave Mathews Band -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jibilian/Glass give a whole new meaning to "drum 'n bass." Not the electronic dance music you might expect, but a totally organic product that is largely (and gleefully) un-danceable. This is music to listen to. Gary Jibilian takes good advantage of what his "superbass" (The NS/Stick) has to offer, tapping out two handed riffs so tight within themselves that they should make most guitar and bass rhythm sections jealous. Todd Glass adds the only missing element to this rhythm section with some tight and focused drumming. Most tracks obviously spring from Gary's ideas, but a few such as Escape from Zulu Death March find the two players so united in purpose it's hard to tell who started things rolling. All in all, a fun introduction to a group with a lot of potential. Tom Griesgraber World Music Radio, San Diego, CA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Jibilian/Glass have come up with a well produced CD containing seven "ripping" songs utilizing the N/S Stick. These songs lend themselves perfectly for use in television and film projects. We like "Escape From Zulu Death March" and "In Memory of Doris Oliver" in particular". Mike Wyner/Talent Director/NOMA Music, Burbank, Ca -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kelly Brown kicked-off her "Homeboy" show saying this about us: "JIBILIAN/GLASS is doing something nobody else is doing. A very unique sound. A very unique instrument. Gary is mastering the NS/Stick, and a ton of people are loving what they are doing, especially at their live shows." Kelly Brown, 8-12-01, CIMX (100,000 watt commercial FM station) Windsor, Ontario
