Dream
— Electric Angel — "After listening to
this CD you'll never look at the harp the same way again....This music is simply
brilliant. Beautiful harmonies, superior vocals, masterful
arrangements....Electric Angel is made up of three amazing women who...have
ventured out to create a totally new soundscape that is nothing short of being
pure ear candy. Midyne Spear, Jill Meniketti, & Lynne Reardon make up this
trio of eclectic singers/songwriters/musicians....I have yet to be so inspired
and uplifted by an album or by any musicians the way I have been by this
group." Michael
Allison — THEGLOBALMUSE.COM

I'd be buying two at least: one to keep close and another to give to someone you
like a lot. The more you hear it the more you like it: subtlety, nuance, taste,
humor — jazz......Be prepared for large doses of musical pleasure..."
