"Seeking" is the second recording offered to you from Monkeyworks. Warning: This collection of 4 original songs may evoke many visions & emotions from your subconscious. It may capture your imagination. It may make you think. "Almost guaranteed" visions & emotions that are included if your imagination has become momentarily dormant: * The smells and sounds of your childhood toybox * A hot day with a cool drink on a dusty road * The empty set of a "Film Noir" flick * Being way too happy You can't go wrong with this disc, and you probably don't have anything else in your collection quite like it. ===== Review by John Hammel of WNTI-FM - http://www.wnti.org Monkeyworks - Seeking - There is no adequate description for Monkeyworks' music. It is simply some of the finest on the planet, and certainly the Garden State should be justly proud. Ian Smit's tunes, tracks 2-4 of this ep, track one is a Smit, Kevin Brown, (bass) collarboration are intricately dense but highly appealing journeys through a musical wonderland. The colors of the Monkeyworks world are unique and enough to leave you short of breath. I can't listen to this enough. A former member of Ping (with N.J. fellow guitar god Peter Biedermann), Mr. Smit has chosen to retain that group's eclecticism but with the wide tonal palette offered by his bandmates, has created a kaleidoscopic collage that is in another planetary solar system and... ummm. How did I begin this review? Indescribable. I'm at a loss for further words. When was the last time that happened? John Hammel - Mozart To Motorhead Saturday mornings 7-10 A.M. Check out the artist's website: http://www.monkeyworksmusic.com Track List: 1. Toybox Serenade 2. Whatever Happened to Talbert Clayton on Gilbert Drive? 3. The Chilton Street Caper 4. Eleven O'clock and Still Way Too Happy Other Genres:
