WHAT "THEY" SAY ABOUT SOUNDSTORM -----------------------------------------------CARAGAN MUSIC REVIEW 2007Usually we would critique songs by a method of initial scoring for example Vocal Delivery, Musicianship etc. but your music has both challenged me and forced me to multiple listen. This is a very good thing.At first listen I have to give you demo of the week, as your music, although not perfect, has a certain quality that you just can't create. In A&R terms, I would definately place your tracks on my shelf on the 'keep and eye on this' pile.There are a lot of people out there in A&R who automatically look for something wrong before they look for something right, myself being one of them.On to the songs:'WASP' comes across to me with an 80's'esque rock vibe kind of reminding me of THE CULT and a touch of electro heroes DEPECHE MODE. The song is well written.'Year of the gun' This track to me beckons a soundtrack score in a James Bond movie!I think the same applies as above , all in all this track is far superior to the previous track, both in terms of A&R and its commercial appeal. This is the track that would stay on my A&R shelf making you the one-to-watch as I stressed above.I really like the guitars as it seems to give a nice epic feel to the track and I love the way that you have been quite creative with your chosen guitar tones. The track brings elements of DURAN DURAN, FAITH NO MORE and SEMISONIC.This would also make a nice download release assuming you can create some hype to back it up.Gig Reviews ========== Clwb Ifor , Cardiff - great Sound , great music - you guys are well 'ard Song Reviews =========== Nothing In Black & White I love the moment when the whole band comes in on the chorus - Avid Fan--------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- The combination of 3 time signatures within the song and the harmonic 9ths in the chorus really work for me - I like it ! - Guy Fletcher OBE, Chairman, British Academy Of Composers & Songwriters------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Too Deep For Words - This is a very dramatic, bright arrangement with a mysterious mood - like that very much - Syngularity ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------"Possibly the best in your genre on N1M site I am very impressed with your work. how can someone as good as you be unsigned. I can't tell you how good you are because you wouldn't believe. please remember me when you are famous. " Urgen City: York State: Ontario Country: Canada------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------Nice sound, guys. From these two songs it would be hard to "pigeon-hole" you which I think is agood thing. Bright, airy sound. Pop some more up when you get the chance. Rich - BURN-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------Like it. Great voice (he said green with envy). What is it with the welsh? I would only sugsest that perhaps your holding back a bit with the vox. I suspect you sound even better giving it some welly. Smiley-----------------------------------------------------H EY SS......2 Very kewl tunes.......great arrangements.......some awesomme sounds going on in the background of the secound tune.......overall 2 awesomme tunes..........great work....... TNT Music Ted---------------------------------------------------Good powerfull sound you have,i like the production,it's top class,wish i could get a recording with that clarity!Ronson Kipling ____________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "I'm loving your tunes.
