Hi friends,

Here is some feedback for the Stargazer 2 album:

"Stargazer 1 & 2 are really accessible proggy music, fluid, plenty of melody, layered harmony vocals, and while Steve is a skilled multi-instrumentalist, never overplay. He has a real knack of composing catchy songs, giving them enough depth so that they have a real presence." — Odayrox

"I really like the story here and I can get into the music of the individual tracks. It's obvious the effort Mr. Bonino made to bring his vision to life in the songs. I'm looking forward to hearing what happens in part three!" — Peter Skov – Prog Archives

"The Stargazer 2 album of The Steve Bonino Project is both an excellent and intelligent album, that I urge you to try. Steve's broad masterful interpretation of prog rock bringing on a big musical smile."— Andre De Boer – DPRP.net

“Shimmering technical, sixties pop infused progressive journey . . . one of those undiscovered gems where you really should strap in and set your course for the stars . . . and beyond." — Steven Reid – Sea Of Tranquility

"As a general rule I don't go into the lyrics of an album as such, I prefer to leave that part of an album to others to explain and explore, but I do note that the quality of the lyrics in general is of a higher quality than many other such ventures. Which in my opinion does merit a mention." — Olav Martin Bjornsen – Progressor

"Steve's albums are always all about the songs as opposed to 'look at me aren't I clever' workouts. Steve delivers time and again, and here is yet another album which is a delight from the first note to the very last." — Kev Rowland – Prog Archives and Progressor

"Both albums (Stargazer 1 and 2) are masterful works. Some great rocking tracks, catchy melodies, and terrific playing, not to mention the captivating story line. Both albums are fantastic!" — FragileKings – Prog Archives

"I enjoyed this album as much for the music as I did for the introspective lens it offers the listener to view it through ... " — Vinny Iacocca – The Closet Concert Arena

"STARGAZER 2 is accomplished, polished and whip-smart in its conception and execution ... a novel within an album." — Robert Craven – Independent Music Review

"Bonino's curious space opera continues, once more wrapped up in his playful and entertaining melodic progressive rock. I found Bonino ... to blur the line between prog rock and jazz fusion." —Craig Hartranft – Dangerdog

"This story will certainly appeal to SF-lovers. Even for those who are not SF fans." — Esther's Rock Blog – Esther Kessel-Tamerus

"...muscular guitars and amazing changes of tempo...the album is intriguing and surprising enough to recommend it to neo-progressive lovers who appreciate concept albums" —Denis Boisvert – Profil Prog
