Reviews for TWO
Great guitar and fabulous compositions - a grade A recording!
Barry O’Sullivan, Australia - BLU FM - August 6, 2009
TWO is quite a nice CD, very listenable, smooth catchy tunes; I enjoyed every cut.
Brent C, Wisconsin, USA - WOJB FM - March 10, 2009
Great nu-jazz, ambient music with clever detailing in the foreground.
Stuart Boomer, Toronto, Canada - TORONTO LIFE and CODA magazines - February 19, 2009
"Eddie Paton's sure attack, beautiful acoustic tone, impressive technique, and uplifting melodies add sparkle to this percolating Latin track."
PALMAS review featured in the Sept. '08 issue of GUITAR PLAYER magazine- Aug. 4, 2008
There is a funky, electronic, Latin vibe that is pervasive throughout. This album is like a collage.
D. Oscar Groomes, Charlotte NC, USA - O's Place Jazz Magazine - June 14, 2008
I love this disc - a breath of fresh air.
David McCrory, NSW, Australia - 2NVR 105.9FM, 2BBB 93.3FM - June 8, 2008
This is a superb recording - great tunes, arrangements and production of the highest quality. The variations in tempo and musical influence are extremely well done and the musicianship is of the highest quality. Refreshingly different and eminently listenable, this recording was a treat to listen to and will certainly feature in my future Jazz Programs.

Reviews for VOLUME 1
While ReDuX:RMx Volume 1 is certainly ambient and relaxing, it stands above its genre by grabbing your attention with compelling melodies and musical "amuse bouche" ranging from 70's Italian movie score organ riffs to 60's coffee house jazz guitar (Lenny Breau, anyone?) and bits of overheard conversation. All this, and a beat too? This is THE album to spin when that special someone finally comes back to your place and you want to be a little more subtle than Barry White -- just make sure to hit the "repeat" button.
Brad Chisholm - Advertising Executive CHIAT DAY, Los Angeles, CA USA - Nov. 20, 2005
I can see why they call it cafe, because like coffee it percolates, and it's rich, dark and aromatic. Let me have that Latin bean juice and pour it in my left ear while I lounge languid so I can recline sublime.

PALMAS selected as Latin Finalist Winner in the JOHN LENNON SONGWRITING CONTEST - March 10, 2008
The hot Gipsy Kings style track, PALMAS from TWO, has just won finalist in the Latin category of the John Lennon International Songwriting Competition.
Talk about an honor - to win in a world-wide music competition that is named after a true hero of modern music. We admire John’s creativity, individuality and peace initiatives. Our music takes its influences from cultures around the world and we experiment with eclectic instrumentation, audio bending and unexpected changes - very much inspired by John. It makes it all worthwhile to be acknowledged in this way.
RAPTURE makes ISC semi finals! - January 29, 2008
We're ecstatic that one of the singles from TWO, our second CD release, has been selected as a semi-finalist in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in the Instrumental category.The track is world, rock eclectic with hints of electronica and film orchestration: think belly dancing and Eddie Van Halen. The instrumentation juxtaposes steel guitar with the Middle Eastern lute, called an oud. The rhythms and orchestration climaxes to a Van Halen style guitar solo - an unpredictable change up.

Ideas on the upcoming release of ReDuX:RMx TWO - October 7, 2007
The word redux can refer to a work that has been brought back, revived, restored or revisited. ReDuX:RMx had this in mind in creating Latin, cool and funk jazz for contemporary musical tastes - bridging new audio techniques with old-school musical forms and exotic world instruments. For purists, the original musical compositions were recorded live in the studio. For the adventurous, ReDuX:RMx used new sonic digital technologies as instruments. It was an organic creative process. It was also in keeping with the concept of our label, Race of Tan Records: the coming together of races and cultures in the art and spirit of music.
ReDuX:RMx didn’t want to create Logo Pop that would be dumbing and disposable. We wanted to musically challenge you - without the attitude. And we wanted to make sophisticated, yet accessible original contemporary music based on historically influential jazz styles and global musical cultures that would fit your urban, cosmopolitan lifestyle. Enjoy.
