Press Reviews Illinois Entertainer July 1, 2003 "Paddy Leitsch is a multi-instrumental maestro. Playing every instrument on The Phoenix Project, Leitsch brews an unusual amalgam of flashy guitar pyrotechnics, programmed beats, and experimental electronica. His efforts reveal a technical prowess and an ear for distinctive themes. Shifting easily from the laid back jazz of "All I See Is You" to the powerful metal of "Dragon's Wings," Leitsch conjures precise moods and aural touchstones through his relentless virtuosity ... no one can accuse him of lacking imagination."
