Press Reviews Praise for Aaron's Newest Track: On My Mind -"fuckin' unbelievable... I'm in love.This track has been on repeat for about 40 mins. This is talent...Nice prodigy-like snare roll to introduce the resonator and wonderfulvocals. Seriously, awesome pitch, Aaron. The "on my mind...on mymind" chorus....*bliss* Great stereo effects. WONDERFUL singing onyour part. Seriously very very very talented. I love that voice. Theresonator sets quite an eerie tone to this slightly minor track. Thechorused vocals and three-note piano riff work excellently together.Wow. The break with the two vocal parts and piano chords is veryvery skillfully done...This track sounds INCREDIBLY professional. This is a wellwritten, wonderfully produced, beautifully executed track. I amsinging along to it now. Seriously. This blows away any of yourother work and blows away a lot of music I've heard. You are avery very talented kid and this is a damn incredible track. " - Isotropy"”On My Mind” is a surprisingly intelligentpiece. The beginning led me to believe this was going to be like manyothers I’ve heard, but it took me way beyond the normal! This is expressiveof a talent that exceeds your years. The way in which you use the vocalsis more like an instrument than singing - executed very well! Theorchestration and chord progressions provide for a rich tonal range that isboth interesting and captivating! The rhythm is laced wonderfully with themelody. Your transitions are well placed and serve to maintain interestthroughout the piece. I definitely would like to hear more. Maybe I shouldgo and listen to the rest of your work?Congratulations on this obvious achievement!" - Moses"okay...wow.That was a really great track... Altogether this is a very nice track. The mastering and EQ on this one havealso been set very well. Good job Aaron. Keep this type of work coming outand you're going to find yourself surrounded with solicitors." - Another Forgotten Machine"It is a very impresive arrangement and the chanting is a very nice touch. Iwould call this a happy track... there are twinges of darkness here andthere." - Edgemere"I actually think these are some ofthe better vocals I've heard on mp3.com, the style reminds mesomewhat of John Lennon...The background sounds are nice. The main synth sounds likesomething prodigy might use. Once the piano kicks in, the tune is infull effect. This track overall, has a very continous flow to it. Thedrums have lots of subtle changes and builds. This is the kind ofmellow track I'd like to hear when I turn on the radio." - XionephixPraise Of No Escape:"No Escape: Dude, this track rocks. Nice butter beats, cool synth sounds and bouncing 303. I like how the guitar comes in. I am a huge fan ofcombining electronic and "traditional" instruments. Dude keepmaking shit like this you'll get to where you need to go." - The Lofat Rythym Syndicate "No Escape: intro.. Very Cool. Are you doing all the drumprogramming from scratch? I am realllly getting into the drumpatterns, Wow, fantastic.... 1:50 I like the guitar... the bass line soundsvery.. analog/retro... a very good job. the drum work is EXCEPTIONAL." - 3PMusic Praise Of New Rose Hotel: "New Rose Hotel: ...this one caught my ear... I am realllly liking thistrack... very "mysterious"... this song is sooo dark it is very good... I like this one." - 3PMusic"Isotropy was right... you are great =)...
