successful art
This is a very smart song. Very melodically accomplished as well. A really successful work on all levels.

Songs Containing True Melodic Elements
I like this song a lot. It works on a ton of levels. Great melodic identity, the lyrics work fully and Ison makes rock solid production choices. The background vox are right on the money. Also, this works really well on a meta, postmodern level. All around, this song is a winner.

Cherry Gum
The Lou Reed style is catched to 100%, the arrangement is perfect (choirs, strings, claps, everything), the only difference is that Steve sings a lot better than Lou!! Unbelievable glam!

shankarji's dope trax
Unashamed tribute to the great man, which perfectly recreates the Velvet vibe - Lou would love this!

Ted's Total Tunage Radio
Steve you are discribed as glam rocker and it sure sounds like that to me fromn this track. I like the production on this a lot, it's very clean with the back up vocals and the talking in the background You use a simple band here that just works with this material very well. I especially like the fiddle coming in out of nowhere at the end. I have always been a Lou Reed fan too. Nice.....

Lucys Station

THIS IS MY ABSOLOLUTE FAVOURITE SONG ON THIS SITE MAN - No little simpler than that. This is a joy, an act of maddening genius. He's a proper bastard you know that. I'm tellin' thee, he's a right git. Bleedin' creep. LOOK I'M JUST JEALOUS. And it shows. If you can listen to this and not smile you need some stronger medication. Or maybe a job in parliament. THIS IS MY INDIE NUMBER 1 OF THE YEAR. Nothing comes even remotely close. Listen and learn...................From IF YOU THINK YOU'RE COOL YOUR NOT!

The Brilliance of Steve Ison, tripping out to another cool magical work which I have listened too, but for some unknown reason never added to a station !! Starts right off, with no fooling around kicking out a great vibe,hear the magic, feel the magic, love the talk-singing thang as he lays down this kicking out groovy thing that is been around for a long long time, yet, you see the genius here as well. Sweet one and that piano ringing away, and the bgs . king of the groove here at IMP......rock on forever Steve, you got the eyes attention once again
