The dynamic duo of Duo Dynamic - multi-instrumentalists with a flair for creating non-threatening electronica music lives up to its name on the debut CD, Unrest for Peace. "Sliptime," however, will take receptive listeners on a moody journey through sonic deserts, exposing the multiple layers and textures of Duo Dynamic's distinct sound. Elsewhere, the beginning of "Jaspers Tone" echoes Yello's still-fun "Oh Yeah" and the smooth jazz of "Causeway" recalls romantic Sunday mornings. Despite its title, "Gasping" is the record's prettiest song, fusing delicate piano and an upbeat rhythm that will almost make you forget that Duo Dynamic's backbeat is fueled by Forde's percussive programming. - Sea of Tranquility
Duo Dynamic's "Unrest for Peace" is the #5 Most Added to CMJ RPM along side Chemical Brothers and Six Degrees artist Ojos De Brujo. - theriverbends.com
Duo Dynamic - Unrest For Peace (CD, River Bend, Instrumental/jazz/mood music)
Duo Dynamic is the duo consisting of Ray Mathews (guitars) and J. Kipling Forde (electronics). These fellows write and record tunes that combine elements from a variety of sources into their own brand of slightly upbeat modern mood music. What we find most appealing about Unrest for Peace is the fact that it can either be listened to intently...or played in the background as an accompaniment to life. Both Mathews and Forde are accomplished in their specific areas...and their combined efforts result in some mighty fine sounding instrumentals. Groove-oriented cerebral cuts include "Magnetic," "Time to Man," "Sliptime," and "Within." Subtle yet heady. (Rating: 4+++++) - babysue.com
"Really Dynamic with massive sound. "Causeway" will definetely get more spins" -- DJ Mark Caldwell, WAWL Radio Station, Chattonooga, TN. - Mark Caldwell
