Mariani - 'Perpetuum Moblie' (Sonobeat), October 15, 2009
This review is from: Peretuum Mobile (Audio CD)
Originally released in 1970, as this band from the past features a sixteen year-old guitarist - we know as Eric Johnson. A friend of mine recently informed me in about this 'rarity'. Best described as straight-ahead guitar rock. Tunes that I got the most out of were the rocking "Things Are Changing", the wailing "Lord, I Just Can't Help Myself", the eleven-minute epic "Euphoria" and "Windy Planet". Line-up: Eric Johnson-guitar & vocals, Jay Podilnick-bass & vocals and Vince Mariani-drums & vocals. Should appeal to (I'm second guessing) Vinnie Moore, early Bad Company, Greg Howe and Joe Satriani (I saw Johnson tour with Satriani not too long ago).

Eric Johnson at 16! An untried industry marvel, July 31, 2005
This review is from: Peretuum Mobile (Audio CD)
I read the other review of this record. I agree this is not Eric Johnson's best BLUES work, HOWEVER.... it is hot psychedelic, hard rock prog.
This is a tight recording made during the beginnings of Acid Rock icons. Eric Johnson is amazing when you know that he is just 16 years old when we played on this. In 1970, special effects or pyrotechniques, on the guitar were beginning to erupt in the music world. The band is tight and leans in a progressive rock motif (like a hard Pink Floyd, Santana or inception Gentle Giant). The percussion is very good and gets about 9 minutes of solid attention. The 16 year old Mr. Johnson JUST jams, but this is NOT blues really. The vocals are very good with lyrics in keeping with that time. I listen to it about one a month and I thoroughly enjoy it. Excellent spin!
