5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite new artist, December 2, 2004
By Carl Boehm (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard the song "Orange Sky" while driving home from my office. I almost changed radio stations because it was unfamiliar and too mellow, but there was something about the soft building rhythmic repitition of the song that drew me in. When it ended, I made sure to make note of the name of the artist.

"Alexi Murdoch."

That evening, I visited his website (www.aleximurdoch.com) and watched a 30 minute live performance recorded for KCRW. Wow. I bought this CD immediately.

That was 9 months ago and it has rarely left my CD drawer since. And that is a CD with only 4 songs. They do not grow tired.

My son and I saw Alexi Murdoch live last night in a small club. He performed a good number of new songs (in addition to the 4 on this CD). Hopefully, the new songs will soon be available on a new CD. I can only hope it is as good as this one!

I highly recommend this CD. His music is meditative, his lyrics insightful, the playing top notch, and the entire package is unforgettable.

This is the first recording of a very important new artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alexi Murdoch is a GREAT Talent, January 16, 2005
By B4 (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This four song CD is amazing. I bought it at CDBaby.com where the sound files are a lot longer and I was completely mesmerized. It made many a birthday and christmas gift over the last couple of years.

Where is our full-length Am CD?

5.0 out of 5 stars UNSIGNED Music Magazine Review, March 17, 2005
Straight from the U.K. this Brit is being touted as having the lyrical prowess of Harry Chapin. He is certainly a talented lyricist, a fact well proven in his song Orange Sky. This is a beautiful song, well crafted lyrically and musically. There are only four cuts on the EP and it is rightfully titled Four Songs. This is music at its best and Mr. Murdoch should soon become an international success. In the U.S we tend to dismiss the lyrical content of our music, but in the U.K great lyricist still exist. Alexi Murdoch is one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning stuff
Alexi is at one with space in his songs. Some people try for a lifetime to write one single, honest song. Alexi has four of them on this EP. This is quite simply stunning. Read more
