Customer Reviews

Diverse, appealing and stimulating.
Talk about eclectic and multi-faceted! This guy gets involved in so many different styles and does all of them justice. He has a unique ability to reflect lyrical disonance within his structure of music. Something that lets the listener take his journey into the mundane dimensia of everyday life. Not an easy task. Try walking in someone elses shoes. The music isn't just for listening...you can actually hear a cognitive process. Kind of felt like I was riding a neural cart over his synaptic rollercoaster. Great sounding CD. Some absoultely hilarious liner notes. The engineering on this CD is absoultely phenomenal. Really cool graphics. Too bad there's no picture of the CD on this site. Heavy King Crimson and Zappa influences. "Hang-up your receiver when finished." You'll get it when you listen to it.

What kind of music is it? Good Music!
George Hrab is a local artist, i was introduced to his music by my friend who saw him live.

I Seriously reccomend buying this CD if you like some cool music, that really can't be described. Its got a bit of a jazzy sound on some of the songs, but its not jazz... Its just good music. My personal favorite CD is Vitriol.

Also if you buy all the CDs and play them in order they link up, weird but true!

Literate, musical, and just plain fun!
Where are the smart songwriters nowadays? Well, here at least! Hrab's sound can't be categorized. Just when you think you've got him pegged ("He sounds just like Zappa!" you say), there comes a tune that defies description, another sounding vaguely like Tony Levin, a Bill Bruford thing, and something funky but unclassifiable. All of it is anchored with musicality, infectious and meticulously executed rhythms, and a tongue firmly planted in a cheek! Who should buy this? Well, any fan of Zappa, David Byrne, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, or anyone willing to be open-minded and adventurous. And if you like this, as a follow-up, buy Hrab's second CD, Vitriol.
