"This CD is fabulous! Man, I love the melodies, lyrics and musique. You've got a very cool sound."
"There is not one track I would 'skip' over as I do with so many other CD's."
"Your voice is soooo sexy! I love the whole musical style & arrangements as well."
"The whole album is really warm with beautiful arrangements and the level of musicianship is so high - really great! Track 2 reminded me of Rufus Wainwright who I really like!"
"I always appreciate it when I can understand the words, especially when the singer/writer has something to say. The instrumentals are great and the songs are really strong."
"I was blown away. The production, the arrangements, the songs...all top-notch."
"The songs are wonderful and you have a great way of using dynamics that so many pop writers don't seem to master -- and your lyrics are neat, so evocative and complex. The swing cover of "Norwegian Wood" is a great idea and "Answer Me" is totally inspirational. I think my favorite so far however is "Unsaid Things and Nicotine".
"My whole family loves your CD. How do you manage to sound like the writings of ALL the Beatles?"
"You've got some terrific almost Jellyfish-esque stuff going on there - what wonderful production, and the wide variety of styles and orchestration!!"

"Christoph Bull brings 1960’s cool to the organ."
(L.A. Times)
"It moves Bach into the 21st Century in a nice way. I have always thought of Bach an innovative rocker anyway. Bach was really the world's greatest bass player of all time."
(John Blue, Writer)
"You're doing for the world of organ what Tiger Woods is doing for the game of golf!"
(Gerry Biggs McGrath, daughter of L.A. organ legend Richard Keys Biggs)
"The sound of your music is cause for our souls to rise to new heights."
(Mary Vaughn, parishioner at Blessed Sacrament Church, Hollywood)
"That made me pee all over myself."
(Bootsy Collins, Parliament Funkadelic)
“He plays like an angel.”
(Marie-Claire Alain, Concert Organist)
“That guy is ridiculous.”
(George Clinton)
