Brother John
REVIEWS FOR AVERAGE (PT. 1): NUMERATOR
"Abbreviated rhythms,
soaring synths, and thick ambient bass lines are but a few of the pieces
to Brother John’s master jigsaw puzzle. Harmonies follow down through
a maze of keyboard rhythms and heavenly ambience. In addition he explores
electro pop ala New Order and French house much like Air. This may just
be one of those special electronic albums that will satisfy the needs
of both the underground and the mainstream casual clubber."

"The first song “Celestia” starts off with a quiet Ben
Folds like piano piece which morphs into electronica synth near the middle
and ends by morphing back to the piano piece. This is followed by “The
Halls,” which is akin to a poppy Atom and His Package tune. Track
4 “Piss Off” is light and had me thinking of an even more
airy Portishead without the beats mixed with Alan Parsons. The rest of
the songs on this release are just as meshed up. This is a very good and
interesting CD to say the least."

"...Average is stuffed to the gills with multi-instrumental
flights of fancy, exploring a myriad of textural concepts under the wide
umbrella of experimental music. Buried within the click + cut chaos are
profound "Eureka!" moments..."

"Average (Part 1): Numerator, [is] an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of electronic experiments, fey little melodies, spacious ambient textures and early industrial beats."
