What a surprise!
Received these reviews for our Crystal Tears and the Dream Nebula album, posted at Jamendo.com:
Had to use Google Translate, as the reviews are in French.
The first one was from Jamendo musician, Forfly. His review, in machine-translated English, said:
How has it been possible to miss that?
Here is a superb album unjustly forgotten by critics, that Jaz has uncovered and reported to me – I thank the passage.
Apart from the Title 5, which I believe breaks the mood a bit, all the rest of the album is bathed in a warm and silky.
The guitars are beautiful, deliciously lyrical, they are the center of musical discourse with, however, one exception: under 6, which is sung (very beautiful ballad pop-rock).
Really, listen to this album!

If that wasn’t cool enough, here’s the second review by Jaz (who was apparently the one who made the initial recommendation):
From the guitar and good things
These are two musicians who deserve better than the 2 or 3 reviews that have so far had their three albums. Music pretty cool I think, with good guitars that do not strafe in any direction. Stay tuned.

Just when I thought those were it, we received a third! From zephiria67:
Good album
Thank you for the recommendation to Forfly if I was missing. I loved the guitar playing, all compounds which plunges into a warm and energetic atmosphere. I loved “Goodnight not goodbye. Thank you for sharing

You might think I’m making such a big deal over reviews. Well, if they are a rare thing… LOL
It’s funny. The reviews came at a time when I was wondering if I should continue to upload tracks to Jamendo (in addition to Bandcamp). They were a timely reminder that I should, because of the different audiences. Jamendo seems to have a lot more users from Europe while Bandcamp seems predominantly for and by the North American side.
I was telling our friend I-Ling that if she can help us find the equivalent music social network in China, then we’ll conquer the world. Ah, delusions of grandeur. 🙂
This reminds me: I’ve been sitting on several reviews for the CTDN album. Will post them up soon.
