5.0 out of 5 stars BEST VOCAL BAND IN AMERICA, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spin Art (Audio CD)

There is a reason David Crosby hails this band as "The best vocal band in America!" The four part harmonies of the Lennon Brothers are unbelievable,unless ofcourse, you have seen them live and heard it for yourself. Although, no recording could do true justice to this bands natural talent, SPIN ART,comes closer than this fan thought possible.Beginning with "The Man You Think I AM",a moving song from a new father, to the last,"Family Tree", a beautiful piece about saying 'goodbye to one our own.' This is definatly the best produced CD Venice has released to date. It's a must-have CD for any quality music lover!

5.0 out of 5 stars Destined to become a classic!!!, September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spin Art (Audio CD)

If legendary musical icons such as Jackson Browne, J.D.Souther, James Taylor, or members of classic groups such as Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Byrds, Poco, the Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, Flying Burrito Brothers, Pure Prairie League, or Quicksilver Messenger Service were growing up today and fantasizing about the rock and roll life and being musicians, Venice is the group they would all be idolizing and aspiring to be.

Which is not to say Venice is stuck in the 60's or 70's. Quite the opposite...a band for the new millennium!

Venice captures that rare musical triumvirate combination that all seek but few achieve...flawless musicianship, heartwrenching/soul searching songwriting, and unsurpassed vocal harmonies.

For years Venice has been primarily known as a "live act", with live shows that echo back to early Bruce Springsteen in terms of length and energy. "Spin Art" succeeds in capturing some of that incredible vitality and energy on disc.

Having enjoyed an immensely loyal local (almost cult) following for years, "Spin Art" should launch Venice globally.

A guaranteed future inductee in Cleveland!

Venice...the soundtrack of our lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Venice does it again, February 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Spin Art (Audio CD)

Spin Art relieved me more than anything else. I loved the first album (1990's sadly out of print self titled CD). For years I waited for a second album, and when I finally got Born and Raised, I was a tad disappointed. It was good, but not what I had hoped; Spin Art was what I had hoped for. A truly wonderful CD, with the right mix of energy and smooth. From the first notes of guitar and harmonica that opens 'The Man You Think I Am' all the way through, Venice just creates a wonderful soundscape. I don't feel the need to comment on the wonderful vocal harmonies, the other listener reviews do that nicely. Highly recomended.
