"To me Silver Atlas sounds like Robert Plant and Brian Ferri from Roxy Music combined and updated for this age.
Given the currrent...state of narrow minded mass media they are probably being force to give their work away as download. And that is why I got motivated to write this review.
Have gone addictive and obssesive with music in the never ending quest for fresh new sounds. Have downloaded many songs from Amazon and trust me, this has been one of the best bands.
Sometimes I dream to be a promoter to back bands like this.
Highly recommended, good quality stuff. My favorites Silhouette,
No Distance Can Hold, Third and Hell."

Highly Recommended

"A friend loaned me this CD insisting I give it a listen. I decided to give it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Though I don't think "acoustic downbeat" is really the right description I hesitate to peg this sound into just one genre since it impressively mixes many. Al Ruffin's melodic vocals are excellent and of great range. The various sounds in the background by Mr. Lichon and additional musicians rival some of the top bands of today and complement each other excellently. To use an industry term this band is "tight" and they definitely have their act and sound together. If you are at all a fan of music, whatever the genre, I hope your interest will be piqued enough to give 4 a.m. a listen. In particular I must recommend No Distance Can Hold and Memorial, which I just can't get seem to get out of my head."
