REVIEW: Think of 3, Personalities (Thinking Man Studios)

- Reto Koradi

This self-recorded 3-track EP is the first common release of Josh Drennan (guitar, vocals), James D. Harvey (guitar, bass) and Peter A. Van Emburg (drums). The relaxed sound is dominated by melodic bass lines that unavoidably create associations with early Level 42. Together with the excellent drumming, they give the solid basis for catchy melodies that dig deeper and deeper with repeated listenings. Josh's vocals are pleasant, although not highly characteristic. Only one track rocks more by adding Prince-like guitars.

A promising debut, these very talented and skilled musicians would deserve a chance for a full length release. Think of 3 can be reached by e-mail at thinkof3@aol.com or by phone at (610) 695-9216.
