REVIEWs for "The Holy Dogs of Other Days"
http://sonicmasala.blogspot.com/2013/10/hits-from-box-74-taking-eight-below-belt.html
"To follow her thought was like following a voice which speaks too quickly to be taken down by one’s pencil. And then she paused by the pear tree. Red fresh on his lips, he followed."
"There was a twangy guitar like what you might hear in the background of a spaghetti western and there was an angular drum track like the kind you’d hear in the 25th hour of a mega-rave and there were many many echoes and theremin-ish sounds like the kind you might hope to hear and see on DMT. If I were to make a movie, any kind of movie, I would be wise to ask Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens to do the soundtrack." Joe Miller
"Tranquilized analogous loops of psychedelic shoegaze..."
"...genre-bending voids that really haven’t been properly tapped until now."
"...eruption of emotion and creativity."
"...collection of majestic songs are much more organic and instrumental rather than electronic and mechanical."
"...vertientes del blues, el bolero y el rock...electrónicas...sonidos tanto tropicales como desérticos"
"...de melodÃas sin precedentes en cuanto a género y composición se refiere."
"...una huella importante basándose en la re fabricación y recreación musical de estos dÃas."
"...strands of blues, bolero and rock...electronic...sound influences both tropical and desert"
"....unprecedented in terms of genre and composition are concerned.
"...an important mark on the basis of manufacturing and re musical recreation of these days."
"...shimmering desert mirage of dusty Western psychedelia in six near-perfect songs."
"...motion in the music adds yet another dimension to his gorgeous signature sound."
HAD TO CALL IT SOMETHING blog
"...a curiously enjoyable mixture of psychedelic, folk, electronic strangeness."
"...can most likely only be created in the southwestern part of the United States."
"...can most likely only be created in the southwestern part of the United States."
"...listening, you’ll find the dance scene alive and well, but in abandoned cantinas."
"...the album is stellar."

Marking the End of an Era
RIP to my Western motif.
It has been a great era for me as a musician and I have learned a great deal from my guitar toting peers. After two western trilogies it is back to heavy electronics and tone experiments. It is good to be back to my roots. New tunes down the trail.
In the meantime and in its honor, my two post modern cowboy trilogies are yours, for FREE.

REVIEWs for "Cloud of Dust, Cry of Death"
"Morriconez paints his picture in especially dusky and burnt colorings, a lot like the sienna hue that adorns the cover image. The album flows its way through all thirteen tracks with incredibly deep production, everything suitably saturated in reverb and most textures given just the slightest amount of delay such that sounds are left to trail off into the distance, like dusts in the wind.
by Crawf
"...this is the
best thing he's ever done. Essentially an instrumental album straddling
post-rock and hip-hop beats, the album Cloud Of Dust, Cry Of Death (a title I
absolutely love) is steeped in the titular composer's sepia-etched wild world,
yet imbued with a noir element that might fast-forwards The Man With No Name
(and to a lesser extent the psychedelics of Alejandro Joodorowsky) into the
21st century. I have been blown away by this record,..." by Brendan T
"The instrumentals that make up the bulk of the album are uniformly
excellent, built on minimal, looping guitar figures and washes of trumpet and
synthesizer, with drums that tend to amble along beside the tune rather than
drive it forward. This is the aural equivalent of shimmering
heat distortion rising off the highway on a long drive through nowhere:
surreal, fleetingly beautiful, and tinged with an ineffable, otherworldly
sadness." by Corey Casciato
"...captures the wide expanse and desolation of the South with warm tones, melodic swaths, and psychedelic and otherworldly soundscapes."
"While Morriconez does evoke images of the west, deserts, tumbleweeds, and peyote buttons, it is actually the other side that sticks out to me as the strength of this record. Leads that sound somewhere between horns and strings, vocal effects that sound robotic, and reverb that doesn't quite sound warm enough is actually what pushes Cloud of Dust, Cry of Death above and beyond the average 'experimentalist' record and into the void of memorable, unique, records from 2012"
{FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS}
"And speaking of liquidy grooves it’s reminding me of Balam Acab and Peaking Lights in places too. Basically what we’re talking
here is a smooth, sensous bit of post-dub, post-driftstep, post-ambient,
post-techno, post-pop that’ll bliss up your mind-grapes."
