Sounds Like: In a recent interview for an underground music publication Anton was asked this question
"Anton... how wold you describe your sound if you could and in your opinion does it pay homage to any one artist in general?"

Anton's retort was this

Anton's actual answer-

"Well to be honest id say my music pays homage to every artist i have ever heard
not just one in general I mean some more so than others but in the end they all played a big part. As far as how i would describe my sound.... hmmm... well i would say its somewhere between this world and the next.... (he laughs)... you know its funny but it is true i take inspiration from everywhere inside of me whatever i am feeling no matter how im feeling. could be slightly eccentric at times or very pop driven or just plain old rock n roll. you know what enough of my ramblings on for my need to impress the readers of a 2 page music magazine... (he laughs.. they do not but get the joke on his own vanity).... ok here it goes ill sum it up like this. if you could see thru five dimensions of reality and five thousand shades of your own soul with the increased sonar of a bat in the dark you would find a world of limitless possibilities some of which you know and some of which you would love to know about. with the purpose and hold backs of reality shoved in a box and locked away to let you explore your every corner and all dark corners of the universe to find out exactly this...... nothing is certain and we all controll who we are and... as long as we have no boundaries we can acieve anything anytime we would like to. its a world of colour like the kind you knew as a child but lost as an adult do to the jaded morality of the world around us. the colours are vivid the sun is shining with no limits its like a never ending acid trip."

Anton Reed's music as described in his own words
and as he told me
"so many will read it and have their own a** holish opinion on what i actualy know about life or the human soul and than there will be the suto intellectual's who will get down on me for not having the identical opinion to their own... but f*** em i dont care."

When I asked why he doesn't care he replied

"that is an easy question with one answer unlike my other answers..(laughs).. because my music is open to interpretation and the way I described it was my own interpretation.. people will always have an opinion on what someone else thinks.. however.. i wont let it get me down as i will either never meet them or it may inhibit my artistic ability or cause undesired or unneeded stress."
