Review in the San Diego Reader; "With an extra measure of jazz chops,Glen Neff is head and shoulders above the Budd/Eno clones in his sophisticated use of harmonics,rhythms and synth voicings.His music has a kind of languid dissonance which suggests Ravel,and various motifs twist and blend with impressive intricacy. The feeling is solid and spacy

Review in the San Diego Reader; "With an extra measure of jazz chops,Glen Neff is head and shoulders above the Budd/Eno clones in his sophisticated use of harmonics,rhythms and synth voicings.His music has a kind of languid dissonance which suggests Ravel,and various motifs twist and blend with impressive intricacy. The feeling is solid and spacy at the same time,which is no mean feat." Option Magazine L.A. " His music is as adventurous and lively as much of that other stuff is predictable and cumbersome. Synthesist Neff is a true improvisor and a reflexive expert at reacting to himself on tape. This one-man interactivity is compelling in and of itself,but what really counts are the basic building blocks of Neff's music-the notes themselves. Since the compositions are initiated spontaneously and later embellished,the musical mind of the initiator had best be fertile. Tis'.Neff, to a degree,shows the results of a jazz background in his extemporaneous melodicism,but he hasn't got a bunch of rote bop licks to trot out.The innocence of his lines works extraordinarily well with the complexity of his construction.The more traditional textures,the ones to which words like "majestic" are usually applied,are here made into something more substantial,thanks once again to Neff's melodic ingenuity and a decidedly avante-garde bent in the peripheral activity,plenty for an inquisitive brain to chew on."Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa) San Diego Reader.Recorded on vintage Kurtzweil Midiboard,Kurtzweil 1000PX,DX7,TX81Z,OBX,Memory Moog,Akai S612 Sampler,Atari 1040,Creator C-Lab,Effectron 1024,Midiverb ll,Toa Mixing Board,AMR 4 Track Cassette,ST707 Reel to Reel,bowed Banjo.Maria Solaris-vocalise
