*REVIEWS*

‘katerina’

(complimentary critique from ‘discmakers’)

“There are very Beatlesque moments to this song.  I would be surprised if they were not a major influence here.  There are some eclectic moments here, with pretty melodies and chord patterns.  Well done!  Though there are some pitchy moments, in general it is a nice vocal performance.  Great job!  This is an interesting, enjoyable, and original piece.  There is no obvious hook or chorus melody; however, it is an extremely melodic piece.  This is an ambient song of linear style.  The lyrics are engaging and evoke charming imagery.  Nice work!”

(keep in mind that this was the ‘complimentary’ critique i received after releasing ‘finest hour’ through disc makers.  which meant it wouldn’t get approved/forwarded because you weren’t a dues-paying TAXI member.  it also happened to be the critique with the most positive things to say.  hmmm…)

matthew cantor compared the song to “middle-to-late period beatles”

(devon petersmeyer also compared the song to the beatles)

(that’s exactly what i was going for!)
