"SUCH A SOOTHING AMBIENCE FROM JOHN" John's opening number was one of those "has he started or is he just having a laugh?" situations. Heavily fx-ed guitar, a cd of white noise in the background and a bizarre, warbling baritone gave the impression of Antony and the Johnsons at 33rpm. Leicester Mercury 20/10/05
His vocal did have an amazing sonority and cutting out the indifferent audience's hubbub created a soothing ambience, evoking monks. - NME Unsigned Acts 05/05 "
...you'll find that the music speaks for itself.""...produces the most peculiar voice I've ever heard....And, yes, he was serious!"
review, Leicester Mercury, 06/04/06
catalogue review, JOHN - Out Came Within:- "Very unusual collection of deep and mournful songs. Very odd, really, in a world of it's own." other comments :- "...hugely emotional...extremely thought-provoking..." "...consummate...beautiful, yet natural and so primitive..." "...(Last Of All, current mp3 track and future remix 'a'-side) is possibly one of the best and most original songs I've heard recently." "...one of the best gigs I've ever seen..."
Ultima Thule, Leicester
