4.0 out of 5 stars The unheard music...., May 22, 2003

This review is from: The Girl That God Forgot (Audio CD)

I'm from Long Beach CA and heard about Suncatcher from a musician buddy..found a used copy at "Fingerprints" and thought once again about all the great music I'll never get to hear because somehow it "slipped thru the krax". But not this one. Great songs, great lyrics (!) So-so production on some songs (it was the age of lo-fi after all) The songs STILL work because they seem based on timeless pop elements (i.e. Beatles-REM-MBV-the Velvets etc) My personal favs are Juvenalia, Dandelion, The Girl That God Forgot and Trouble (a Classic that never was). The whole cd showcases great songwriting and presents the "vibey/Psych" side of Long Beach the way Snoop got the "grit". If you've stumbled somehow onto this album-get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars great hooks, songs you can play over and over again, July 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Girl That God Forgot (Audio CD)

After years of metamorphosis, i.e. different musicians, different band names, Doug Hammond has matured. Very melodic and soothing to the soul. The type of music that plays over and over again in your head until you rush to the CD player so you can listen to the layers of beatle/oasis/verve/u2/smith's type sounds - yet, it is the original haunting melodies that will claim you!

This review is from: The Girl That God Forgot (Audio CD)

Being a musician myself, and all but despising what is being released these days, Suncatcher's writing and arrangements still impress me immensely after listening to their debut CD for 4+ years now. This CD is an oasis for anyone interested in real rock and roll music the way it once was. I would love to open for this band and wish them all the tenacity necessary to stick with one of the suckiest businesses around... although, i think they may already be history. I sure wish there was more than the one CD to listen to. The last track on "The Girl That God Forgot" gives me an out of body experience everytime i hear it. Thanks guys.
