Revew by Jonas Sturas on "Sounds of Heaven": "The combination of lead vocals, choir and various digital musical instruments used in 'The Sounds of Heaven' takes you on a sound journey through the Heavenly Realm. As Heaven itself is indescribable so is this album. It is original, fresh and hard to categorize. No 'Labels' come to mind that compare to this work. It is a pure joy and pleasure for me when 1istening, especially at bedtime. The melodies are relaxing and soothing, and next morning its lovely sounds and prayerful, powerful, words remain with me. During the day many of the melodies run through my mind as a gentle, peaceful form of prayer and as a reminder of this other world to which all souls aspire." Jonas Sturas KOQP, Pasadena, California From Review of "Dance for Padre Pio" album from From Outer Shell Music Magazine, Pinellas Park, Florida: Have received your 'Dance For Pade Pio', and I DEFINITELY agree with your promo write-up that it is one of the best Christian/Pop Rock albums ever made !! Everything about it is superb; the Iyrics, instrumentation, and production. I found it a GREAT pleasure to listen to ! As space allows in Outer Shell, I will be doing a review of it in a future issue of Outer Shell. More importantlyl I will be putting together, in the next couple weeks, a write-in interview for you to fill out, and sending it to you to return to me. Your music definitely deserves recognition and Outer Shell plans on giving you some recognition. Congradulations on your SUPERB new release, and I will be in touch again shortly. God Bless You, Roy Harper Editor of Outer Shell Music Magazine, Pinellas Park, Florida From review of "Angelophany" album by John Bockelman: It sounded great in iTunes. It also sounded great on my CD player at home. The songs themselves are like scripts of the future history of planet earth, handed compassionately to us with no strings attached. Just let it sink in. The philosophical and ethical issues are blended into an exotic and flowing series of melodies, chants, beats, poetry and overall wall-of-sound that in its entirety worships God and has a great time doing it. The 12 songs feature an extremely wide array of styles, tempos and songwriting that also caught me by surprize and held my attention to the fascinating structures and layers that come out of each song. I was particularly impressed by the European rock styles represented here that were such a great part of Rafael's life before he escaped from Communist-ruled Yugoslavia in the early seventies. Those sounds invoked images in my mind of his previous life and the environment that he grew up in before he made his run to freedom. Incredibly well done. It's the kind of music I can put on and go about my activities and it's there, shedding considerable light on my life while it plays. I hummed the tunes and whistled along with them and felt a quiet inner peace as the CD played. There are serious, deep moments, humorous songs, some Shakespearian lyrics, pop songs, rock and roll, jazz, Gregorian-influenced chants, baroque-styled refrains, and lots of atmosphere and amazing creative inspiration throughout the whole trip. This is Johnny B, giving a five-star-double-plus rating to "Angelophany" by Rafael Brom. It is not only a "Christian" album, it is one of the best albums I've heard by anybody in any style, ever. I guarantee you, if you're looking for a set of music that you can feel as well as hear, this album is for you. If you're into having some intelligence added to good music that you can tap your foot to, this album is for you. If you're a spiritual traveler, searching for the door handle to the sounds you hear in your soul, this album's for you. I can only say that it impacted my life deeper than I could have ever expected it to. Heck, I just feel lucky to know the guy. This isn't the kind of guy you'd meet every day. And the music that he made here is proof enough of that for me. "Angelophany" is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Somehow in his complicated and busy life, Rafael Brom created a genuine masterpiece on the run. Here it is. I sure am glad he stopped by my office with that CD yesterday. Thanks be to God.
