Product Description ?Though thoroughly modern and fresh in its sonic approach, Basic Glee offers glorious echoes of a shining moment when rock music was reaching towards the glee of greatness on a daily basis...Richard is an artist driven by more than the search for a hit ? he?s someone who?s personally obsessed and intimately connected with the power of rock & roll in our lives. Music is more than a career to this guy ? it?s a lifelong passion. And that?s why his blood is all over these tracks...when it comes to those priceless seconds of musical pleasure brought to us by a true rock artist like Richard X. Heyman, glee is not simply basic. This sort of glee is downright infectious.? -David Wild, Contributing Editor Rolling Stone Magazine Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA perfectly crafted pure-pop gem! mjkvol | Lanoka Harbor, NJ United States | 12/05/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you want the epitomy of what would be called an immaculate, perfectly crafted pop record, then you've come to the right place. RXH combines killer melodies one after another, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and layer upon layer of guitar to create a pure-pop gem that any radio station should be swooning over, except that they are too busy trying to find next week's MTV star. CHECK IT OUT!" Epitome of well crafted pop Scott Waldon | benicia, ca United States | 10/28/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Another excellent record by RXH. I own the previous 3 releases by Richard going back to 1990. They are all very good, but this just might surpass the rest. He does all the writing, plays virtually all the instruments, but this one man show encapsulates all that is great about harmonious pop/rock. Full fledged bands wish they could sound so full. Highly recommended for any fans of unabashed joyous harmony. Highlights include Everywhere She Goes, When Evening Comes, Vantage Point High, What in the World, That Will be the Moment, and on and on. You need to get this." Hardly any filler 05/19/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Every album he makes is just a little bit better than the last one. This is the best one so far. I think the coolest track on this album is "Pauline." If I had to pick one song as being the very best, "Pauline" is it. I like "Waterline" and "Hand Prints" as well. Everybody says his music is very styled in the 60's, but to me it sounds very modern, maybe just because of the way he records it. His pianos and harpsicords always sound like they're coming off a synthesizer. The drums are real, but they don't really sound like drums on 60's albums. The 12-string chimes away on a lot of songs and it actually sounds VERY much like the 60's. The musicianmanship is very tight, which is an accomplishment because Richard X. Heyman is really the only musician on the bulk of these recordings. The recordings sound very polished and very modern, not loose enough to sound like the 60's. But mostly this music is very good and it's very easy to give 5 stars, unlike most the dribble that comes out these days.
