Excerpt of
article:
The 1990's was a watershed
era of sorts - a bridge connecting the great musical styles of
the 20th Century, from TV and soundtrack music to '50s rock and
roll, '60s pop and '70s progressive jazz-rock. Truly the decade
of the independent, self-contained recording artist, the '90s
ended with musicians gaining more control over the music and
more importantly the way it is manufactured and distributed.
One of the truly gifted independent artists to emerge during
the '90s, NYC guitarist Errol Antzis made a sizable musical breakthrough
with his 1999 debut CD, which he titled Psychoteria. With Antzis
performing everything, the first Psychoteria album is an all
instrumental, rockin' guitar fest spotlighting nice originals
and tow choice covers. Making significant musical inroads since
his first album, Antzis returns in 2003 with a second Psychoteria
CD called The Hard And The Soft. Expertly performed, produced
and engineered entirely by Antzis, The Hard And The Soft also
marks Errol's emergence as a lead vocalist. The vocal tunes add
a welcome pop edge to the festivities, but make no mistake about
it - The Hard And The Soft is yet another fine Antzis outing
strewn with savvy electric guitar work and melodic arrangements....
