The Blue Falcon
‘With the publication of The Blue Falcon, Seán Mac Falls
fully realized the promise of 20 Poems. In this new book
Mac Falls shows himself to be the authentic, magical thing,
a true poet – original and traditional. In a vast field of
tone deaf, prosaic, unquotable versifiers he is separate and one of
those rare singers with a gift for metaphor and trope so authoritative
that most of the others appear like interlopers. Here is a true
believer in the primacy of the word. His poetry is numinous
and outstanding with unmistakable fire and power and his use
of language and imagery is striking. If Blake’s symbols fall and
cut like daggers from God’s city, Mac Falls’s are more akin to
‘needles threading a trail of stars . . .”

CD - "IN THAT GARDEN" by Sound Oysters
In That Garden by Sound
Oysters is an object lesson in fitting great songwriting into
experimental production and genre play. It makes you think, like when
you’ve seen a great movie and for days after you are pleasantly moved,
perhaps even disturbed. It makes you feel something. There is an arc to
this work. Indeed, In That Garden is a concept album in the truest
sense. It spirits you away and one may never be quite the same
afterwards. But, boy is it FUN. It is an aural escapade, a ‘Through the
Looking Glass’ and a ‘WonderLand’ for a new millenium.
The more you listen, the more you get sucked into the Oyster stew. The ingredients include: a wallop of pathos, 4 cups of Beatle juice, a pinch of jangly guitars, an ample amount of psychedelic pop, and a dash of Indian spice to round it all off. The sitars on “The Light That Finds You”, channeling plumes of Nag Champa, will billow from ones speakers. And the harmony vocals by these ‘Sound Oysters’ recall those halcyon days when the Everly's, Lennon/McCartney, and Simon & Garfunkel lifted songs to delerium heights like great melodies always do.
