There is a lot that sucks on a grand scale in the world right now; down economy, hunger, foreclosure, just to name a few. Not to mention the millions of unemployed Americans – I know from my own experience that a certain feeling of hopelessness consumes you and pulls you down from every direction… all before prospective employers don’t bother to call you back. Makes you want to listen to some aggressive tunes.
And music has long been an outlet for such mass emotional strife. And Vision the Kid’s got it by the balls.

Music is my first language – as long as I can remember it’s always spoken directly to my soul in a very emotional way. As you can see in this picture, that passionate appreciation is shared by my family. I am pleased to say we’ve decided to put the time in to keep sharing the cream of the crop :)
I say ‘we’ because this actually was a family conversation. These days it seems like we’re working all the time with occasional glances of family-life.
There used to be an art to making albums of music – where the songs complimented each other to create one piece of work. Today, individual songs are the driving market force, but occasionally someone steps up and delivers beyond a single track. Ian Thomas Alexy recently released Are You Listening, a masterful EP that continues to reveal his musical genius and creative mind.
