www.layered.org “Already one of the best albums of 2006.” - Sinead Gleeson, renowned music journalist/blogger “Melodically lush, rhythmically compelling...gloriously precise and urgent.” - The Wire “The crowd of curious, attentive listeners are immediately struck by the unit’s effortless command and undeniable technical skill...we are in such capable musical hands that it’s obvious nothing can possibly go wrong... what we’re witnessing tonight, dubbed ‘emergency rock’ by the group itself, is a gleaming jewel...superb, finely wrought music.” - The Wire (live London show review) “Law is outstanding.” - new-noise.net “Pushing the boundaries of the instrumental medium.” - cdreviews.com “[Law is] a smooth and beautifully well-constructed whole...it has been stuck in my CD player for weeks now...I find it hard to fault anywhere: all the tracks are polished to perfection.” - cdreviews.com |

Wishing you all the very best...
I recently found out that I'm one of 10 finalists from the music contest on here that is eligible to win $1000 at the end of the month. In order for me to win, I must have the highest amount of votes by members, album sales and overall activity on my profile.
The night of Valentine's Day (music IS my lover) I recorded a few songs and they are now for sale as well. If it's been a while since you've seen my profile, do take a listen. Please check out my myspace profile too- there's a lot more to see, read and hear there (I'm a writer and videographer as well).
*with respect and gratitude*
thank you for your time and consideration.
in love, for love, feel love, be love, with love, my love, from love
