Newsletter # 40 – November 9, 2018

Stargazer is out and here is what some reviewers are saying:

"... an incredibly accessible album, one that I knew I was going to enjoy from the very first note... yet another to add to my list of albums of the year"
             — Kev Rowland – MLWZ

"Cinematic in its sweep, Bonino’s vision and imagination takes the conventional model of a rock album and shapes it into something more interesting, stimulating and unique. A bold concept expertly executed and well worth purchasing / downloading / liking and sharing!"
             — Robert Craven – Independent Music Review

"This is a story for and of us all ... a story and vision that I could imagine being backed on stage by an orchestra while Steve and the band rock out front ... A must have."
             — Tony Floyd Kenna – Independent Music Review

Recently released, Bomber Goggles first album Gyerland has generated some wonderful feedback:

“Given that the topic of plastic in the oceans is incredibly topical at present, in many ways it could be argued that this is the most relevant progressive album out there.”
            Kev Rowland — Prog Archives

“Bomber Goggles took what is at first glance a story of dread and tragedy, injected it with hope,enveloped in an uplifting spirit, then presented to you the listener an album that is as poignant as it is telling.”
            The Closet Concert Arena — Lady Obscure

“Imaginative. Talented. Unpretentious. Easily addictive. Just damn fine music!”
            FragileKings – Prog Archives

“ProgRock album with nuanced nods to Yes’90125, Genesis Foxtrot, The Lamb lies Down on Broadway and complex counter rhythms closer to King Crimson and Soft Machine”.
            Robert Craven – Independent Music Review

Another recent release that received praise is the album Trouble Town by the band Zabocus:

"I played ‘Roots Run Deep’ about ten times before starting into ‘Trouble Town’ — the link between the two albums is seamless, well-thought out & perfectly executed. Zahn & Bonino don’t just have the vision, but also the songwriting skills and the chops to pull this meta-theatrical project off. Don’t purchase download one of them — download them both and enjoy a unique project both daring in its conception, but also polished and honed in its delivery. The whole thing, like a diamond, is pretty much flawless . . . "
            Robert Craven - Independent Music Review
