Oberon

Regress Records (Argentina)

Reviewed by:Nicole, Derek and Kevin

Derek: So this is a Norwegian on an Argentine record label. This is the global economy at work.
Kevin: Being reviewed in an American magazine. Praise GATT.
Kevin: So this seems like a cross between new-age, rock, latin and jazz.
Nicole: It seems like there is a tiny bit of John Tesh in there
Kevin: More like Yanni with all the synths going on. Wow, he�s singing in English. Why?
Nicole: I was going to say Yanni, but it doesn�t sound that pretentious
Kevin: If you, Yanni and John Tesh were on an airplane and there was only one parachute, what would you do?
Nicole: I would attach Yanni and John Tesh together and throw them out.
Kevin: I would commit suicide.
Derek: I�m allowed to just take the parachute aren�t I?
Kevin: I don�t think this is as bad as either of them, but I think that Yanni or Tesh fans would probably dig this more than us.
Derek: Is this what Norwegian music sounds like in general?
Kevin: I bet most Norwegian music isn�t sung in English. It�s just the cheesy synth sounds that really bug me. With his bass voice, if you had guitars instead of synths, this might almost sounds like Death Metal
Derek: Maybe we should stop before we upset Oberon too much.
Kevin: yeah, I guess I�m having a problem being an impartial CD reviewer here, because I�ve exchanged e- mail with Oberon and he actually seems like a nice guy. I wouldn�t recommend his CD though honestly.

Kevin: what�s this? Oh, it was good for a minute.
Derek: I think that he only put on the initials of the next song because it was too sappy.
Nicole: What is it?
Derek: Love is the Light Of The World
