CD Reviews
Featured on "THE SOPRANOS"

"A great CD and the first song on the CD was featured on the hit HBO series "THE SOPRANOS". The song "CERTAMENTE", was also featured on 'PEPPERS AND EGGS' the compilation 2 CD set featuring music from the "THE SOPRANOS". This version of "Necessita" also has a bonus video track, the video is a very professionally produced music video of track six "Non Mi Basta". The music on this CD really captures that special mood you get when you watch "The Sopranos". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
Deserve to be known by a global audience

"I bought this CD as "if you bought x you will like..." and took a chance. I am a 50 year old artist and I play music to my college drawing students and every year I add new CDs to my "playlist". I just put the stuff on (most of it I know they haven't heard before..) and just wait. Sooner or later they start to ask, what is that?? This is their favorite CD this year and mine too. It has a bit of a dark quality and at first I was offput by the slightly "tinny" sound of the first tracks...but the more I listen the more I like it. It is melodic and epic. This is a great group and and great CD. One of my other current favorites is Stan Ridgeways "Snakebite" which I first heard on an SAS playlist on a flight to Denmark. They love that one too! It's sophisicated stuff and works it's way into your brain. You don't need to speak Italian or even be an italophile.... Take a chance on this great fresh music, you won't regret it."

"The first track, "Certamente", may be familiar to Sopranos fans as it is featured on one of the soundtrack albums. Although I don't understand Italian (wish I did), I found a certain consistent rhythm and style on most of the songs. Highly recommended."
Check out the other version!

"This is a great CD. But you should check out the other version of Necessita. The other one is on Staccato Records and is ASIN: B00006LWUB. It is exactly the same music and artwork, but it is nearly $3.00 cheaper and includes a very cool music video of track 6 "Non Mi Basta". You can play the music video on your computer and it really adds value to an already very must have CD. The first song on this CD has a connection to my favorite TV show "The Sopranos". Which is how I found out about the CD."
