Fonya - Soul Travels
“Behind an arsenal of keyboards, dense layers of bass, and some of the most intelligent drum programming in recent memory, Fonya’s sound rivals that of pioneers such as Happy the Man and Eloy but imbued with a contemporary, state-of-the-art concretization. Even better than his debut, this is wholly instrumental music with a symphonic pulse and technological gumption. One of the U.S.’ best kept secrets.” [i/e]“Bridges the gap between spacy cerebral electronics and such hi-tech instrumental rockers as Ozric Tentacles and Kit Watkins... An all-instrumental affair that’s a real stunner.” [Time and a Word]
“In this day of countless neo-progressive bands, Fonya instead draws upon the likes of Eloy, Tangerine Dream, and Camel to create a very spacious (and spacy) melodic progressive rock... Next time you’re buying, make sure Fonya is on the shopping list.” [Gibraltar]
“Lush, at times symphonic, Tangerine Dream-esque power prog. Really a pleasure. Can’t think of any other band/album that sounds like this. Well recorded, well produced.” [Gibraltar]
“If Ozric Tentacles and ELP had a bastard child, it would probably sound like Fonya... [Fonya] may help define a new territory in the musical spectrum... Find the record, you will dig the sound.” [FishNet Indie Review]
