You may remember Jason Falkner from helping out buddy Eric Matthews craft a tasty bit of pop music in 1995. Well, he's done it again, only all by himself this time. Writing, producing, singing, and playing nearly everything except the occasional guitar overdub (and strings), Jason has released a one-man pop tour de force. Hooks abound and won't let you down. The more you listen, the more you'll find yourself humming along. Standout tracks include "I Go Astray" and "Don't Show Me Heaven," but all are worthy of a listen. It's good ol' pop music. Better still, it's good music. ~ James Chrispell

Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown Music Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown Songs Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A landmark album like no other!!!
Presents Author Unknown is as perfect as a pop album gets. There is not a single bum track to be found throughout this 12-song gem of an album. Jason Falkner came roaring out of this gate with this solo debut by creating endless melodies, often packing one song with three or four great sections alone. The verses, the bridge, the chorus, the melodies, the lyrics, the production...everything is flawless!
Since I bought this album there is nothing I've ever heard that can even touch it. So if you're prepared to find no equal, then buy this album immediately. Give it time because it's a little more rocking that I first expected, but don't overlook a single track...if you love pop music then you will not be disappointed by this masterpiece!

Invisible Baby is easily the most out-there thing Marco Benevento has ever released, and it's also the most accessible. Benevento and his piano, Mellotron, "circuit bent toys," and mountain of other keyboards in various states of disrepair blasted through Leslie speakers and a big humming amp are accompanied by Reed Mathis (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and Tea Leaf Green) and drummers Andrew Barr (from the Slip) and Matt Chamberlain (a session ace who's played with everyone from David Bowie and Morrissey to Tori Amos and David Torn). There are eight cuts here, all of them songs in the most proper sense of the word, completely drenched in sonic wackery, psychedelic spaciness, harmonic largesse, stretched rhythmic and dynamic play, and all manner of colors and textures. Is it jazz? It depends on what your definition of that is these days. It doesn't sound like anything else out there, and has more in common with people like Kenny Werner and Charlie Hunter, the Bad Plus, and E.S.T. than the standard jazz piano trio. In fact, this resembles the latter not even a bit. There are post-rockist elements at work here in the slowed tempos with somewhat studied pulses as well as volume excess in places, but that's not even the beginning of the story. There are elements of classical wonkery at play: the Bartókian repetition in "If You Keep Asking Me," where the acoustic piano's middle and lower registers are enveloped in a kind of intervallic puzzle before they come sliding out toward the end with an entirely new melodic structure, is an example. There are gonzo electronic effects that feel more like analog than digital (even if they are) and are glitchy, dirty, sloppy, and greasy, interlocking with an expansive knowledge and studied practice of the standards book (if only for the purpose of violation), as on "Ruby."
The playful attitude that begets "serious" music composition makes for a music that disregards genres while inundating itself in them. Many genres work together at once, becoming a blur in Benevento's compositions. Take the George Winston-like piano figure that opens "Record Book." Starting as a simple vamp, it begins -- with help from a rock-solid rhythm section that is subtly overlaid onto everything -- to become the voice of a singer. Drama, memory, sorrow, travel, separation, distance, and the desire for a return to the known all come to play instrumentally as Benevento opens that melody up with rich harmonics and a sense of overlapping tonalities that are underscored by the sound of the other keyboards and toys being put through the Leslie. This is a unique music that -- like the Bad Plus -- never ...
