ERIC BLOWTORCH AND HIS SUPERPOWERS
Flame On! Simmerdown Productions
You could search the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota and not find a musician as talented
as Milwaukee's Eric Blowtorch. "Flame On!!" is a about as good as non-techno dance music can get, an energetic, positive, upbeat record that has more musicians in it than an Irish bar in Amsterdam. Blowtorch leads
his orchestra that's half Vegas and half Jamaican shantytown into a stylistically superb force, that could make many a musician scratch their head and hang up their instrument and go to work at General Motors. From
the Motown inspired "She's The Most," to the beautiful ballad "I Am The Voice," to the opening dub instrumental "Code 66 At Register 6," Flame On!! is a well written and arranged
CD. My pick for the best CD of the year.
