(Music Forte reviews)
"Reconsiderate's music is as original as it gets, and a lot of people need to hear it."
(singer/songwriter Kevin Gianni)
"I am very blown away at Reconsiderate's originality and creative use of electronic beats. It is very much a forefront for modern underground hip-hop... I think that's where it's intellectually been heading, in this free spirit dynamic of reality-meets-unpolished, raw, nondiscriminatory, follow-no-set-pattern back drop, putting true feelings out for others to feel and possibly connect with. Where I live, there are only very mainstream people, or just suburbia zombies, and I have very little contact with alike minds. Some of the subjects Reconsiderate addresses have been of direct concern for me. They're intellectually stimulating without going over my head."
(Environmental Activist LeStar)
"Reconsiderate has a special and unique gift in writing and communicating the core of who we are."
(Carol Pittman, founder of Planet Pulse)
"I consider Reconsiderate to be a philosopher. When in doubt, ditto what he says."
(EV Torres, nucleus of the alternative Cuban-American group Corrientes)
"What Reconsiderate is doing is art. (And I do not use that word often.) The music sounds very well done; he has taken 10 steps back, stripped down the genre, focused on his concepts, and built the music from the ground up, in a minimalist style-- he uses only what he needs to convey his ideas. He has chosen not to use the traditional bells and whistles of Electronica and DJs. (This is a good thing from where I sit.) It would be easy to dismiss these songs at first listen; the question seems to be whether they are serious, art or satire. Art or satire... I listened far more closely than I would have thought at first. I think they succeed quite effectively. I just do not know how. I like it."
(Country music artist Joe Six Pack)
"Reconsiderate doesn't mess around. This is raw creativity... sounds like he had fun making these tracks. I hope he continues to make more music and share it with us. He could really switch up the lull in mainstream music today."
(for-fun hip hopper Arainia)
"Most uninhibited. I think it's awesome that Reconsiderate has such strong intent when he writes."
(Matt Haselow, death-grass guitarist for the Smoky Mountain Skullbusters)
"Reconsiderate represents the glimmer of a nascent path in music: using audio to help us be more open to the world and our ability to change it. This new music will serve a greater purpose than just being something you can put on at work to forget about how much you hate your job, or something with a fast beat you listen to at the gym to keep you running when you'd rather be sleeping."
(Cause Reality)
"If you need some candy for the brain, there is no shortage of ideas delivered in [Reconsiderate's] music."
(Music Forte blog admin)
"Reconsiderate is THE poster boy for Elektro punk! He has a lot of personality in his voice, unlike too many vocalists."
(DJ Crimson Death)
"Reconsiderate's music is exquisite. I loved playing it on my podcast, and hope to play more in subsequent episodes."
(Guy David, host of the Night Guy Electronica Show)
"Reconsiderate is a bastion of independent artistic and creative thought; he operates in a mode that I can understand. (I'm totally hip with art for the sake of exploration.) The vocals, the effects, annunciations-- outstanding! The lyrics are coherent and interesting, and his sense of composition is excellent. All the songs have a sense of cycle that leads to closure. His material just keeps getting better and better as time goes on."
(Scott J Mudry, ex-bassist of The Fantastic 5)
"I'm in awe of Reconsiderate's vision and artistry!"
(the multi-talented Mark Mamanta, aka Galaxyrise)
"Reconsiderate is very different. His words... his lyrics... his poems.... they're so poignant. You put it to music, and you're going to hear something completely original. I would love to see him perform. Even when spoken, he's an exceptional linguist. I hope you listen to the words."
(Greg Percifield, Founder/CEO of Music Forte)
"Reconsiderate is the master when it comes to writing. He has a very deep insight into humanity. Blimey."
(Jay Malls, Electromagnetic Impulses)
"Musically speaking, Reconsiderate has got himself a set of balls for sure; his work is powerful and makes a profound musical statement. No diddling around, it cuts right to the chase and maintains your interest throughout. Marvelous!"
(David Newby, aka Martouk)
"Okay, so Bob Dylan is more my style than any electronica business, but I have to share the experience I just had. I feel... hhhmmmm... charged??? Magnetically renaissanced??? Not sure what the feeling is, but I'm somewhat giddy. When I first came to [Music Forte], I clicked on a couple of electronic-based "songs" but - come on, it's just kind of noise, ya know? But tonight I came in from work, looking forward to getting oh so mel-low and oh no. I clicked on Reconsiderate. And I stayed. And stayed. And stayed. And stayed some more... until I had heard it all. I mean, I went through every single song, and I am absolutely blown away here. This is genius!!! Because of the electronica going on, I really had to lean in, get fixated, REALLY LISTEN. We don't do enough of that, do we? Really listen. Maybe we would all learn something.................or, maybe we don't REALLY want to learn anything at all. Thanks for the experience. It has been a very good night."
(Ruthanna Pearl, musician and aesthete)
"Reconsiderate's song Scout is F#%@ing Awesome! His style is growing into me, satiating a mode of myself that I cannot yet explain. Oh yeah, his whole broken timing and twisting/slowing instruments (as in Foot Soldier) is The Way!!!!!!!"
(Deviant Nature Originals)
"Reconsiderate has an original style that really rocks with great writing and synth textures."
(guitarist Jose Diaz)
"Reconsiderate's lyrics are very interesting, and the musical ideas and concepts throw me off of what I'd expect, but I like that. He can mix industrial into an ambiance level that is awfully hard to come by. I'm happy to give his music a home on The Euphoria!"
(Silivrenion, host of The Euphoria radio)
