Additional Info Keep Checking Back for New Songs; More Songs and Ambient Music to Arrive Soon. Recent review by fellow-MP3-er Frank Cotolo, had this to say: ". . . ['Internet Girl' and 'On Our Way'] by Michael Schlesinger enrapture me . . . Melody-oriented, sober and clean, Michael is obviously paying great attention to the song skeleton. His lyrics work perfectly with his melodies here as he takes simple, sometimes used themes and makes them sound fresh . . . I would adore producing a session with this guy. Not just because I am biased to this type of music, but because strong songs in any genre allow a producer to destroy the boundaries of the ordinary and build mountains where fields lay."
