REVIEWS:
January 2007 -
Dance music has, really, one goal. The essential need is to uncontrollably drive human beings to the dance floor where they can grind, sweat, and groove the pleasure of the bar owners' refreshment count. If an artist has the talent to write and program those kinds of beats - it's money in the bank. Arnold G's ability to compose pulsating and kinetic dance beats is money in the bank. His 12-track CD, "Driven (straight to the dance floor)", is a mix of house/trance cuts that are written for DJ's use - except for the one pop tune (bonus track at the end, "Carry On"). Track 2, "Give it to Me Baby", sets itself up in traditional dance fashion - key stab delays build up the anticipation for the beat and move. Cymbals pan and shuffle and a hollow key envelope wraps the listener. In track 4, "Ocean Dreams", vocalist, Jennifer Lispius, lends her incredible soprano vibrato to the mix in a track that intends to lose the dance floor to insanity. The ominous kick opening that pushed a heartbeat into the mix is heard in track 5's, "I'm Not in Love", the 10CC classic redone in trance with washed reverbed background vocals. Arnold G finishes off the record with a bonus track and pop effort, "Carry On". The ample effort showcases his vocal abilities and the result is solid. The clear verdict here, though, is all about the groove and the beats. Arnold G has that keen sense of beat that should make him extremely welcomed in clubs. Well done. --- earbuzz, Don, USA

Arnold G’s on his debut, “Driven: Straight to the Dance Floorâ€, tribal-tinged
club shaking house and trance tunes are ready to send a quake across the
electronic music world that will blow the Richter Scale into oblivion.
High-octane energy, insidiously addictive grooves, soaring melodies and
luscious textures are all delicious features of Arnold G’s tantalizing
songwriting. “Arnold G is a bright, fresh voice in the dance scene.â€

Arnold G already mastered laying down tracks that are thick and lush in the right ways; density and texture are nailed pretty well. Arnold G knows, basically, how to put good electronic dance together. It's tightly woven. This could light up some dance floors.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn (DJFIX), UK

Somebody get me a glow stick and point me to the nearest rave!Driven: Straight to the Dancefloor, by Arnold G, is a dance CD that Ali G or any fan of electronica will love. A person looking to move others to the dance floor or someone who wants to shake their groove thing will get a big kick out of Driven: Straight to the Dancefloor.

The best thing about Our Rainbow, Is that when you look at the lyrics, its is poetry. The line that says: But all these things Im finding, are impossible for me..

Our Rainbow musical is making a difference when other victims will sit back and take it -- Rod Kartochvil, LAPD
