Geoff Pango/ Back Into Her Whisper/---CD

This top flight home taper has all the elements: excellent songwriting sense, seasoned vocals, fantastic guitar playing. Not a bad thing that he is influenced by Richard Thompson. What a find.

pango@torturedartists.com

Dan Susnara/ On The Threshold Of Something/ Mumble Mumble K7

Influenced as much by vaudeville and tin pan alley as rock and roll, this Chicagoan has been crafting his unique songs for years. Sometimes the melodies are a little oblique and the vocals undermixed but on this tune he has all the right proportions.

Dramatic track with colliding pianos, guitars and backing voices over which Ms Fimms hearty vocals dynamically range. A kind of Kate Bush bombast pervades.
