There are some albums that touch the deepest core of the human spirit. Somewhere beyond that you'll find Gabriel Mann's 'tug of war'.

Gabriel Mann has a big, big future ahead. Their music is infectious. It grabs you and wraps you up until you're soaking in it. This thing's gonna never leave your CD player. You'll listen to it over and over again.

For me, it's become my compass. These spoken-from-the-heart lyrics have become my theme and guidebook for living out daily operations. Combine all this with three talented musicians and you end up with one heck of an album.

My advice? Simple. Buy a copy for your home, then buy another for your car. Buy a copy for your boat if ya got one. Then get a bunch for all your friends.

gabriel mann is a man of talent, a man of vision, a man of heart. he brings together a solid crew of three: michael blanchard, the funky and driven bassist, adam marcello, precision drummer extraordinaire, and himself, the intellectual yet soulful keyboardist with a handle on music like no other. the album is graced with a handful of other artists, icing on the cake of Tug-of-War. every song is a journey- a perfectly calculated, yet seemingly spontaneous manipulation of the listener's eager ear. the lyrics are heartfelt and poetic: still speaking to a larger, more intense context. influenced by all the goodies: police, elton john, tool... gabriel mann and his cohorts bring together a veritable smorgasboard of sounds and textures to produce a charismatic, tactile, groove-driven album that will leave you asking for more, more, more.

Amazing album. I own everything by Gabriel Mann and it all is fantastic. Grab this CD and all of the others he has put out. And check out, "The Rescues," another project that features Mr. Mann's unique touch.
