Press Reviews "The Rhythm of Spirit-W.L. Milo is another outrageous guitar wizard you've probably never heard of. A versatile virtuoso, Milo sounds at times as though he's channeling Jeff Beck and other guitar legends. Milo composes all the music and handles virtually all the instruments and programming on this album. Keyboards, synthesizers, and guitars are played with consummate passion and skill. Perhaps my favorite cut is "Crawling Outback", with a didgeridoo growling below percussion and keyboards-wild stuff! The very next cut, "Feel You Presence" is a peaceful New Age instrumental masterpiece, with strings and ambient tones under a delicate guitar lead. Milo seems to relish pushing the envelope, blurring the lines between New Age, pop,blues, and rock. The Rhythm of Spirit is contemporary instrumental New Age music with an expansive, inclusive air, and a lot of fun besides!" Steve Ryals-NEW AGE RETAILER ************************************************"...surprised and more than impressed... This CD is completely different from the usual releases in the genre... This is one of the best new releases I've heard recently. "Emil Hadzi-Panzov Editor/VREVA Music Weekly *****************************************EarBuzz Review: What Santana is to guitarists of the 70's, with his melodic sense and sustained distorted ear candy, W.L. Milo, or MILO, can be to the millenium's melodic guitar lovers. The mp3 track, "Feel Your Presence", dedicated and inspired by MILO's higher spiritual source, is just gorgeous - three to four chords backup an over five minute instrumental piece that is just a long lush guitar solo - sounds boring, eh?.. no. MILO caresses each note of the melody and solo sections with so much passion. . so much passion in just one note, that the listening of the cut is an emotional experience. Milo's music would fit well within a movie sound track, or on a quiet night, laying on the floor, with the tower speakers facing each other - you laying between them with your eyes closed. MILO performs all the instruments on the CD, and is inspired to perform at levels worthy of comparisons to some of the great contemporary guitar masters of the last 40 years, including Clapton, Knopfler, Carlos, and Jeff Beck. Amazing melodic sense. The first cut, "Pyramids in Sight", an Indian rhythmed mild groover, is a lesson in control as a guitar player.. here, MILO plays octave single note lines for the melody - and the solo sections show mature control and occasional flurries of perfectly selected notes - and one of the coolest and original sounding vibratos at the end of phrases. Track 9, "Groovin' up Slowly" is a contradiction - MILO performs his "fastest" guitar playing in this track - a jazzy even toned excursion, mp3'd here. Figures he's from Austin. (eh Eric and Stevie?) And MILO pays tribute to guitar hero, Austin originating, Stevie Ray Vaughan, in the last cut of the album, a live track entitled "Missing Stevie". MILO takes a crack at the blues genre and creams the notes with a finesse that Stevie would be proud of - and we miss him too. MILO is making his mark here - Great guitarist, great music"--EARBUZZ.COM********************************************"BANKER'S BUYS" RADIO REVIEW:"This is music to be appreciated. The guitar taken to a higher level. Compelling, Soulful, Beautiful. Electric Blues, Mood music, contemporary - the passionate performances of Milo blur and blend the distinctions. Listen to "Feel Your Presence", It is indeed an "emotional experience". Visit his site, listen, Buy it!****http://stations.mp3s.com/stations/5/bankers_buys_radio.html
