5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Both Worlds., February 11, 2007

This review is from: Brothers Martin (Audio CD)

It has been a long time coming but the collaboration between brothers Ronnie and Jason Martin was well worth the wait. The duo have been quite successful with their long-time individual projects - Ronnie with his synth-pop outfit Joy Electric, Jason with his guitar driven mood-rock band Starflyer 59 - and with this present disc, the Brothers Martin bring the best of their individual styles into a collaborative whole with amazing results.
With the exception of the live drums played by Project 86's Alex Albert, all of the music was written, produced and played entirely by Ronnie and Jason. The music is highly diverse and covers a wide variety of styles ranging from the guitar-driven opening track "Comminication" to the New Wave synth stylings of "The Harsh Effects of Time" and "Fears To Remember". Elsewhere, there are some stellar moments heard in the industrial-like "Missionary" and the Brit-pop of "Opportunities".
Indeed, every track on The Brothers Martin CD is a stellar example of these two musicians talents in highest form. Here's hoping that this isn't just a one-time collaboration. While both Joy Electric and Starflyer 59 have their solid moments, Ronnie and Jason definitely provide something unique and special when playing together. The evidence is heard in this CD. A true classic from two great artists.

I completely agree with the last reviewer, this is truly the best of both worlds when it comes to Jason and Ronnie Martin's musical prowess. The synth-pop sounds are awesome, and are heavily influenced by the 80's new wave style. The results are mesmerizing. This is one of those rare cd's that I don't feel like taking out of the player when it ends. Don't hesitate to snatch this up.

5.0 out of 5 stars These brothers are great separately, and they are amazing together!, January 5, 2012

In a long-awaited reunion brothers Jason & Ronnie Martin collaborate on this album by swapping back & forth and mixing their own unique musical/vocal styles. Each song tends to have a strong musical influence from one brother while the other brother lends his vocals and a nice blending of his own musical signatures. I was pleasantly surprised and hope they continue their teamwork into a second "Brothers Martin" album.
