Press Reviews Gentlemaniac – SECRETS OF THE MEGALITHS: Vague memories of a tape (or more?) from gman back when this ‘zine was in it’s infancy (over in Korea,‘round ’90 or so, I think)… heard Bryan (Baker, of Gajoob & HOMEMADEMUSIC.com) mention him on one of their radio shows, then reviewed‘em on the Zzaj H-O-T files page… right around the same time, this CD rolls in! Matured a bit, but still got that raw edge that attracted my earz’ inna’ first place! There are some “pop” influences in there, but th’ guitars rescue it from any hint of “commercial”… sound almost “spooky”… spots where I’m reminded of way-early Kenyata Sullivan, but though Fhall is from th’same neck of th’ woods, he’s a PURE original! Track 5, “Political Agenda”was a favorite, tho’ it cut off a bit short. “Just Can’t Win”, track 8, is down in that “slinky-world” that I do so love (musically, anyway). A clear demonstration of how high talent & homemade production are turnin’ thee tide… gets a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from us (especially for those who love rock mixed with true creativity).

The 16-track Secrets of the Megaliths delivers on Gentlemaniac's unique signature sound combining sliding guitar riffs, progressive rock rhythms and a classic PopRock slant. FHall and Gurney Brown (percussion), Kevin Killinger (guitar), and Brian Porter (bass) create a pulsating energy that experiments with rock influences as Gentlemaniac realizes a solid character all its own. This having been one of the first hometaper bands I heard over a decade ago, makes it such an unbelievable treat to have it brought to life with a quality that is vibrant and electric with life. From the first instant you know this is a special recording. One of this year's best releases and very highly recommended.
