I will leave the introduction of this CD to director George Romero, who wrote quite graciously about it. “’D’ (Donald Rubinstein) doesn't do s**t for the f**k of it. He does s**t from the heart. His heart, your heart. The amazing thing is that he can see and hear your heart. He says things you've been wanting to say. And he makes you feel less of an asshole for wanting to say them. Because when he says them, they suddenly make sense. Validation, man. I'm not the only sucker on this planet. There's this other guy, D, who's been suckered in too. And he's here to explain how, why and what happened to us all. D Rules!” George A. Romero "Imagine Korngold (composer of original Robin Hood) doing a song cycle , but instead of hiring an old white guy, Duke Ellington shows up out of the grave to play it, cracking his fingers, wanting to raise a little hell fresh out of heaven. That's this. Imagine John Lennon making an album in the late 60s with Yoko that you actually want to listen to more than once. That's still this...You won't be sure how to take it af first - unless you're of a mind not completely pop/rock - but it WILL make you listen. This isn't backbground music. It's cool It's night. It's lookng forr an audience in a theater of alleys. Yes, performance art you might say. But there are beautiful pieces like "Haven" whic defy labeling, so what you get is a full service album. I find it freeing and relaxing. A ghost in a sometimes dead world of music baying at the moon and ass cheeks. Worth relishing." Ben Ohmart, Music Dish 1. Soldiers 1:35
