Song: "Fearful Momentum" (from the CD Mon Autre Moiti)
Heard By: Brendan Berg, North Park
It was a very dramatic reverie, reminiscent of an çstor Piazzolla tango. The accordion playing was in the background. It's got an Argentina flavor, but that transposes to Berlin or New York...it's pretty cosmopolitan, I think. It's really "soundtrack" stuff. It was all instrumental. In terms of commercial radio, it has potential for recording and touring. I think it has more potential for advertising than it does for selling records. You got to hand it to them for pursuing that flavor. That's the kind of band where you want to be out on the town and wander in where they're playing.
