Press Reviews HOT OFF THE PRESS! Hip-hip HOORAY!! From The St. Petersburg Times, June 16, 2000:"J. MARLIN BARKER, ENNUI ECLIPSE -- Ever sit in your room noodling on a Casio keyboard? J. Marlin Baker sure has, except Marlin has talent and creates provocative concoctions with titles like Theme for Robot Chef preparing omelette. Barker's Ennui Eclipse is a collection of 12 mostly instrumental pieces that range from the cinematic to the ambient to the trippy. It hints of Brian Eno, Depeche Mode, even Sebadoh. Check out the quirky A Lost Balloon with its eerily detached vocal and the gentle Asian-tinged Hong Kong Junk Ragged Memory. Shuffle your feet to the toy-keyboard groove of Oogity Boogity Whoop Whop BARG!"-- GINA VIVINETTO and SAMANTHA PUCKETT
