4.0 out of 5 stars Because There Is Always Room To Grow, March 7, 2003

OK,... so apparently these cat's have been in the Lancaster scene for quite some time, but they seem to have hit a groove that's phunk-a-licious! Every time I see these guys they give a little more, get you dancin' on the floor, always leave you wanting more. The craftsmanship that went into producing a CD of this caliber is simply AMAZING. It makes me proud to be part of the Lancaster vibe. Four unique members make up Second Sky, driven by forces unseen, they throw down the beats that are mean. Then they add DJ Image, and the tribal beats of Tim Riggs,.... well you'll just have to see it to believe it. This CD rocks and so do their live shows!!

5.0 out of 5 stars a gift, March 3, 2003

I haven't seen second sky live... But I met their singer Billy at the Eighteenth Street Lounge in D.C. and he was giving out copies of this CD. I almost just left it at the lounge, but after talking to Billy about music... it sounded like we had similar taste, so I gave it a listen. Billy told me he likes to ask people "what kind of music do you think we are?" Its a hard question to answer. Its electronic... but also kind of alternative at moments. Prince-ish vocals (from a white guy though) and really good drums. Definately more that I had anticipated.

5.0 out of 5 stars the future of live music, January 14, 2003

By A Customer

Imagine being in a club, and hearing a great dj... then a live band leaps right of the vinyl. That's kind of what "random escape plan" by Second Sky sounds like. Bits of Drum N' Bass, House, and Dancehall, are all here. But the live instrumentation gives it a sort of "live" or "organic" feel. Songs like "signs," with its bossa groove, string bass, and twinkling electric piano bring a loungy, acid-jazz vibe, in the vein of Theivery Corporation or Air. While the swirling techno of "who am I" reaches more toward Bjork or the Chemical Brothers. But there is no feeling of Identity crisis! Billy Medina's vocals offer continuity throughout the disk. Especialy on the opening track "Picture This": A cut-and-paste romp through very BECK-esque territory.
Second Sky is a Band. A Band with songs... and an original take on electronic music. While often justly compared to bands like The New Deal... Medina's songs offer a personal touch that really hits home. Get this one!
