"Single Drop of Rain" by The Mechanics of Sorrow... Twangy as it gets, top quality steel geetar in the house, the singer could be Tammy, her voice is great. Have a listen - it's a quality country tune

— Country Gold FM, mp3.com

“One Hell of a Fall... One of the most imaginative and innovative songs I've heard in a long long time. The Mechanics of Sorrow... peaking gracefully above the rest... superb! ”

— Colin Lynch, Scouts Digest

“My Horse will never exist in Reality - NIGE and TREV...... Such a creative imagination...... Some of the composition elements here are unexpected and very cool..... It just builds with those killer drum fills, never becoming ponderous or burdened with convention. The guitar is also sublime and tastful, along with the keys and bass. The occasional "skipping record" feel adds to the production in a way that doesn't become too much of an "effect". ”

— Joe King, mixposure

“ROOFTOP STUDIO....'Her/His Drive His/Her Ammunition' by THE BLAKE AND A BLAKE...........Wow!! 'What a cool track, really reminds me a bit of Zappa. Everything is so well done and damn, just some downright cool sections. The vocals are freaky but very fitting, love the little blues guitar riffs in the background. Lots going on in this track and deserves multiple listens to catch all the nuances. Very well done Blakes!!”

— Valkir, Mixposure

“Rooftop Studio's THE BLAKE AND A BLAKE - Wow! 'Her/His Drive His/Her Ammunition' is a "mainstream" song, that is "out of context with the globe".......... The story is totally normal: "Boy meets girl/boy gets scared of girl's choice of restaurant / girl gasps at absence of food on plate and blames boy for her suffering / boy runs out of restaurant naked and yelping into pouring rain / girl buys yacht and sails to Jupiter." Things like that happen every day and give you the blues. - The little Strat guitar snippets are superb! The vocals are outstanding! I love this song! ”

— J.O. Simon, Mixposure

“ROOFTOP STUDIO: 'Where does it get you?' by GuRzUnZ............. Wow... ...for an improvisation, I think it does really well. It's raw, with GREAT fills and beat, cool guitar trickery and foolery, and an overall lack of pretentiousness that many songs possess. LOL..... Actually the improv aspect makes it a bit raw, live like, and I really like that. Hard to repeat the magic. Peace - Tom”

“Single Drop of Rain.... I love the natural and beautifully sung vocals! The melancholy melody mirrors the touching lyrics brilliantly. This song is performed by a group of very talented and innovative musicians. They mesh seamlessly to create a sheer magical musical journey for your ears. I see a rainbow in their future! ”

— Heather Leona, Mixposure

“ROOFTOP STUDIO.....'Pretty Girls Don't Listen' by GuRzUnZ....... Amazing musicians...This so much going on. Amazing percussion, synths, some great guitar in there just wonderful stuff. I'm a bit lost for words. There's such a variety of styles here and every one is incredible. Hats off to you guys!! Mind Blowing!! ”

— Paul Oakley, Mixposure

“One Hell Of A Fall - The Mechanics Of Sorrow One Hec Of A Good Song Love the arrangment. Good vocals throughout. Quite original. Very good lyrics. It gets better with each listen. Very catchy & memorable chorus. I love the vocals. Great guitar. Monster tone! Loved this song! ”

— Guy Michetti , mixposure

“Single Drop Of Rain... I love the traditional arrangement of this song. The dobro(?) sounds awesome and sets the perfect mood. Great song for sitting around the campfire!! The vocals are perfect and spotlessly recorded! The lyrics conjust the great Oh Lonesmome Me feel. Wonderful job guys!!!”

— Mike Kissel, Mixposure

“ROOFTOP STUDIO: GuRzUnZ -Pretty Girls Don't Listen....... OH BOY! :*) I would LOVE to hear this remixed in a House Track!! It has those sweet Jazzy elements that I so adore! AND it has that nice Experimental edge, as always! Cool little vocal snippets! Always a treat to hear...and the Bass and Guitar works are awesome...as always! Mmm better than hot soup on a cold winter's day...I just LOVE it! So wonderful and out of the norm! Everone needs a lil' break from reality now and then...and this song will do the job! It really does clear my mind to listen to y'all's music...yer like some kinda' electro-musical brain filters! This is such a soothing and classy piece of work, my friends! You guys never cease to amaze me! WOW! I am serious! I am a Die-Hard Fan of all your projects! Fantastic! It's no wonder y'all got that IOMA award! It's well deserved for-sure”

“THE BLAKE AND A BLAKE.....Reminds me a bit of Zappa. Everything is so well done and damn, just some downright cool sections. The vocals are freaky but very fitting, love the little blues guitar riffs in the background. Lots going on in this track and deserves multiple listens to catch all the nuances. Very well done Blakes!!" ”

“Living World Of Sea Creatures - NIGe and TREV.... Psychedelia lives on !!!!.... Nige and Trev are perhaps one of the closest modern acts that produce original music that still breathes the spirit of true acid craziness that used to be heard in the 60's (yes ....I was there !!!) Or perhaps they're just plain BONKERS !! However you look at it this particular track has a really nice production and is almost.....dare I say it......catchy enough to be a commercial hit. UGHH !!! This is like a crossover between the Bonzo Dogs and the original Soft Boys. You guys are living on your own planet but it shines like a light and brings a smile to all who hear it. This is great stuff and should definitely be added immediately to the school's curriculum. See now i'm talking crazy too......AAAAAGHH !!!!!!”

— Global Trancemission , mixposure

“Living World of Sea Creatures - NIGE and TREV.... Extremely Weird... Extremely well produced track also. Lots of very cool things to listen...Every sound is well placed, the quality of the mixing is superb. The vocals are amazing, the melody is so good that we start to whistle along with it without noticing... Very original tune! The performance of the musicians is excellent. The guitar work is totally flawless, great choice of tones, you can notice how careful the production was. Of course, I can´t avoid comparing it to 'Octopus´s garden'...but with many more little sea creatures. Congrats guys!!! ”

— Paul Nery, Mixposure

“NIGE and TREV....This amazing idea factory is like Monty Python if it were conceived in 2020!!! The ideas are so prolific that they tumble out endlessly fluent, and leave jaws on the floor... I cannot even begin to say how bright and marvellous you guys really are, your music is some kind of other worldly, unlimited and untamed experiment that could be talked about in 100 years. You churn out wild, humorous and fearless musings of unquantifiable brilliance as though you were just thinking aloud, this really sets you apart from the crowd, your ideas seem to run like sand from an egg timer, WOW!! You are the one off writing mould, so unique that I doubt it will ever be broken. ROCK ON you wonderful characters of the unusual, the illuminated, the crazy and the unfashionably perfect! You are the best example of a furrow ploughed with no intention of ever conforming to any standard set before. ”

— Maria Daines, Mixposure

“MECHANICS OF SORROW...'Internet Line'... A song that's become an anthem for our times of internet relationships and the damage it can cause offline relationships! Brilliant, inspiring and original!”

— Colin Lynch, Scouts Digest

“Daytime - NIGE and TREV (with Denise Eustace)... Funk from N-n- T ??? Oh yeah! This is swimming in awesome. FZ (Frank Zappa) flavor with excellent performances by all. Slick production pushes the envelope of creativity. GREAT WORK!!!! ”

— Kephas, Mixposure

“It says nothing - GURZUNZ Freaky This is a really cool track, love the funky time sig movements and the whacked out guitar lines...reminds me a bit of King Crimson mixed with jeff baxter..very high compliments indeed! ...great mix and production as well. Very nice! ”

— Valkir, Mixposure

“The Living World Of Sea Creatures - NIGE & TREV I LOVE THIS!!! So incredibly fun! Totally wacky & zany & because of that, it is easy to overlook the sheer genius of the arrangement. Similar to a great classical orchestral piece, quite complex. I love that voice at the end...very Pink Floyd. ”

— Phoebe Erler , Mixposure

“Beyond Your Reaching Arms.... TORN HEARTS The vocals are unbelievable. A little pop, a little synth. The intro vocals are reason enough to listen to the song. Great female harmonies & luscious male background vocals. (ala Carpenters) The chord structure is fantastic & innovative. ”

— Minusme, unsignedbandweb.com

“Telepathy - TORN HEARTS Dreamy, synth pop. Nice mellow beat. Great Vocals. I really like the deeply personal mood set by the female vocals. I think this singer has a wonderful voice! The lyrics again are very original. Awesome song!!!”

— Minusme , unsignedbandweb.com

“BAND OF CONSTANT SORROW?...No, not at all. We hear many nice country tunes on BeSonic by this band...but what´s the special impact? Listen through those songs several times and you gonna getcha kicks. For those of you who don´t I´m gonna explain: if you are into music and musicianship, you know how hard it is to get a good song cut together without losing the first idea. Often bands record basics and dubs on 64 tracks, edit and sort out, fix it in a 14-days-MIXDOWN and all that´s left is a dumb´n dead - more than a 1000 times "heard-already-stuff"...! Listen to THE MECHANICS OF SORROW and you certainly discover that "loose" feeling, easy, groovin´ and most enjoyable! From most enjoyable to most successful is it just a step...hope you gonna make it, guys´n gal...!”
