Performing Songwriter Magazine, July/August 2006, "Top 12 DIY Picks": Fans of Sade or Dave’s True Story, this is the music your soul’s been longing for. Read the review on performingsongwriter.com> The Muse's Muse, CD REVIEW: The Flying Club - "Far And Away." By Gian Fiero: Founded by drummer/composer Bruce Popky, The Flying Club project features Brazilian influenced compositions that will both relax and invigorate your soul. Lead vocalist Amanda Walker's soothing voice enhances the excellent instrumentation; creating a perfect union of musicianship and emotional delivery, as evidenced on the most commercial songs: the haunting and seductive, "Temporarily," and the beautifully performed title track, "Far And Away" ... ... A wealth of licensing potential here. These songs are begging for film placement. [Recipient of three 2006 Muse's Muse Awards.] INsite Magazine, August 2006: [The] lyrics are nothing less than poetry.... Far and Away is an enjoyable ten-track journey. Austin Music Magazine, May/June 2006: Some recordings hit you hard with a strong impression right away. Others wrap around you, enveloping your senses until you are successfully transported to another world. Far and Away is in this latter group.... ...as refreshing as an evening tide lapping at your ankles. AustinDaze, Issue #58: The thing that hits you first is the sultry and effortless vocals delivered by Amanda Walker. Her voice is wonderfully sweet and consistent, euphoric and completely in her element. She gives the music exactly what it needs. Secondly, you realize the depth of the project - the musicianship, the skill, the songwriting, the production..... There are few sounds in this world that can get your heart pumping and sweat pouring like the thunderous samba of Brazilian percussion - yet Luiz [Coutinho] is never obtrusive or distracting..... |
