A while ago we sent our first album to the reviewers of the excellent UK magazine SOUND ON SOUND and today the review is online at http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov09/articles/playback_1109.htm! The magazine is both in printed and in an online format and contains loads of great and in-depth music gear reviews as well as stories and insights from the music business. It's been a must-read for us for years so we're really chuffed to be in there!

Once again thanks to Oren and Bob - the compliments on the mixing is surely as much due to your excellent mastering as our original mixing!

Congrats!!  Nice to see you in SoS, I get it regularly and I had no idea that was your cd Smiley

It's just a pity the reviewer spent 1/2 the review basically saying he doesnt like ambient music, but at least he finally got back on track in the final paragraph and gave his opinion of the album - the point of the review.  You write some great music, so the fact that you managed to win over someone who doesnt really like that genre, for me, gives you extra bonus points!  Grin


On a side note, the album by the band I was in, was reviewed by a snotty, musical elitist from NME, who said although the music was of a high standard - he likened us to Spinal Tap!! as he said we took ourselves too seriously. Our thoughts were "Brilliant - NME hates us, we MUST be good!!"  Grin

Congrats again on the review!

p.s. is it up for sale yet, and if so - where can I get it?

Thanks impablomations! Sam Inglis is a great reviewer and I love reading his often very funny and very blunt reviews. To be honest I was prepared for much worse having read his other reviews so like you said, I was very happy with this review!

The cd is indeed up for sale, it's 7.50 euros excluding mailing costs so if you're interested send us a mail at 87pm.music@gmail.com and we'll be happy send one to you!

Good to see.
By his general manner it's almost as if the guy is trying to find something to criticise but can't find anything.

... And that my friend is the best possible compliment wOO

Well done, Marc and Percy.

You two have worked extremely hard to get this.
It's great to see you get a positive review in such a well respected publication.

Marc,

I am very impressed and pleased to see you in Sound On Sound-as I know the magazine very well(I only wish that SoundOnSound was sold in newsstands in this country!


Congratulations and the best of luck to you in further success! Cool

Thanks! Thom, you should consider getting an e-sub if you really like it. I got myself one and it's really cool: you get the new stuff way before it's in the shops and you get access to a big archive of articles that you can search. If you're not that interested in the e-sub, you should take a look at their article archive anyway; I believe they unlock any articles older than a few years so there's tons of information to be found on their website: http://www.soundonsound.com/.
