I happened to meet Jim DeRogatis the other day and happened to have a demo on me (same songs as our profile), so I did the natural thing for a self-promoting musician. The result was a really nice review, which you can see at
http://blogs.suntimes.com/derogatis/2009/05/demo2dero_tautologic.html
or read the highlights below...
"... an impressively ambitious example of
virtuosic musicianship and deft arrangements navigating myriad sounds
and styles without ever loosing that essential melodic thread or
propulsive rock drive."
"... Tautologic is all the more
relevant for lyrics that deal not with lamia, slippermen, tales from
topographic oceans and the other stuff or progressive-rock lore, but
with Ray Davies-style sociological skewerings of "burnout roommates and
their psychotic crack-whore girlfriends, tube socks, crazy homeless
people, indie hipsters, quasi-terroristic rants against totalitarian
utility companies and anything else that entertains and/or irritates."
