Tribal Timeshift 2011 Tribal Trance Electronica World
A journey through time, this dreamy CD provokes images in the head.
Blending pulsating beats with eerie synthesizers and creates melodic details,
conguring musical masterpieces that are spellbinding.
Skope Magazine review: December 20, 2011
Glen Neff was born in New Jersey in a family that was extremely musically inclined. Growing up in this environment opened a lot of doors for him as he built his own career one beat at a time. His music is atmospheric and soothing. He is able to inspire emotions with out the benefit of any lyrics. He now lives in New Mexico in a round straw-bale house he designed and built himself. I assume this is the birth place of his cosmic instrumentals. This CD was beyond fascinating for me. I am a songwriter stronger in lyrics than I am in melodies, so anyone with the ability to manipulate tunes in such extraordinary ways is mind blowing to me. The entire CD is dreamy to say the least. It feels like a journey through time. It provokes images in my head of nature documentaries you might see on the NatGeo or Science channel. Glen has a unique way of blending pulsating beats with eerie synthesizers that create intricate melodic detail. Glen Neff has an impressive bio with numerous projects done for TV and films; after listening to his latest release, “Tribal Timeshift”, it is easy to understand why. He is a composer extraordinaire, who can conjure musical masterpieces that are spellbinding. While listening to the CD in its entirety I came to learn, understand and appreciate that I was in the presence of greatness. This CD not only is an excellent learning tool for anyone interested in pursuing a composing career, it is also an awesome resource of enjoyment. Rebecca Hosking – rebeccah@skopemag.com Rating: ★★★★★

Thanks for becomimg a member! 1990 "With an extra measure of jazz chops,Glen Neff is head and shoulders above the Budd/Eno clones in his sophisticated use of harmonics,rhythms and synth voicings.His music has a kind of languid dissonance which suggests Ravel,and various motifs twist and blend with impressive intricacy. The feeling is solid and spacy at the same time,which is no mean feat." Option Magazine L.A.
" His music is as adventurous and lively as much of that other stuff is predictable and cumbersome. Synthesist Neff is a true improvisor and a reflexive expert at reacting to himself on tape. This one-man interactivity is compelling in and of itself,but what really counts are the basic building blocks of Neff's music-the notes themselves. Since the compositions are initiated spontaneously and later embellished,the musical mind of the initiator had best be fertile. Tis'.Neff, to a degree,shows the results of a jazz background in his extemporaneous melodicism,but he hasn't got a bunch of rote bop licks to trot out.The innocence of his lines works extraordinarily well with the complexity of his construction.The more traditional textures,the ones to which words like "majestic" are usually applied,are here made into something more substantial,thanks once again to Neff's melodic ingenuity and a decidedly avante-garde bent in the peripheral activity,plenty for an inquisitive brain to chew on."Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa) San Diego Reader.Recorded on vintage Kurtzweil Midiboard,Kurtzweil 1000PX,DX7,TX81Z,OBX,Memory Moog,Akai S612 Sampler,Atari 1040,Creator C-Lab,Effectron 1024,Midiverb ll,Toa Mixing Board,AMR 4 Track Cassette,ST707 Reel to Reel,bowed Banjo.Maria Solaris-vocalise ASCAP Registered
