Review of CD: Nothing Seems Like What It Seems

Nothing Seems Like What It Seems is a CD of mystical acoustic rock with dual interacting lead guitars, intricate fingerpicking, strong bass themes, haunting voice and poetic lyrics.

The majority of his songs are romantic; selections describing everything from love to loss, and disappointment and anger in love, can be found in titles such as "Union of Souls," "You're the One," "Luck of The Night," "The Dawn Is Still," "Nothing Seems Like What It Seems," "Translucent," and "Full Of It."

The CD also contains other songs with other themes: the search for spiritual meaning in "The Trek," and the state of the environment in "Earthsong."

Nothing Seems Like What It Seems is a very personal and emotional, and reaches deeply into the soul of the listener with both voice and lyrics.

Each song stands out on its own, not something easily done by many artists. Unlike most music that is released nowadays, this is a CD that is smooth and easy on the ears, expressing what we feel but cannot express.

And the unusual cover art? As a hobby, Michael enjoys glass-blowing. He employs techniques such as glass slumping, flame-working, glass casting and Venetian-style blowing. The covers of his CDs include images of some of his glass creations. He is as talented in glass blowing as he is in his music.
