Gerry,
Forget reviewers, and anything they have to say. The people who listen to reviewers, will end up only listening to what they want them to hear. Mindless trolls I can do without.
Your music is unique, and if you recall from our emails, I was honest with you about this style of music, in that it is not a style I normally listen to, but yet I find things in your music that catches my interest, and I keep going back to listen again. I still listen to some of the tracks you sent me and dig the grooves I hear, so I'm contradicting my personal tastes in music
If I had paid attention to the reviews I had read a long time ago, I probably would have never picked up my first Dream Theater CD, and look where those guys are today.
You just keep writing with the same sincerity, and damn the critics. Publicity is always welcome, good or bad, it still keeps your name out there.
