Lee Negins The Cheeze Chronicles: Volume V is not a conventional collection of album tunes. In breadth, it is operatic. In scope, it is mesmerising. The mind is dragged from one sonic experience to the next, sometimes feeling its been dragged into the depths of space and sometimes back to earth with a rhythmic bang. Its Lee Negins most ambitious work yet. It draws together all the bits that go into making his work so transcendent and mesmerising and slots them all together in one shuddering whole. This is music for the brain, the guts, the feet and anything else youve got. - Mark Whitby, Dandelion Radio (UK) Boys and Girls, Back in the day, when radio mattered (before video killed the radio star, and now that Internet has killed the recording artist), there was a legendary British DJ (radio presenter) at the BBC in London named John Peel. He was the man in the 1980s, and if he played your music, it was a badge of honour. I was VERY lucky that John not only played my material, particularly an early single called Nothing Goes Right youtu.be/uGrkR9AsJOg which was actually a B-Side, but he graciously sent me a handwritten note attached to a playlist. It is truly one of the highlights of my career. Fast forward to a new Century: Theres a very cool radio station in the UK (Internet radio) called Dandelion Radio which, in format, pays homage to Mr. Peel and his legacy. Since my return to active music making in 2010, they have been on my side, particularly the presenter Mark Whitby. He just sent me the preceding review of my new album. The show goes on.... Sorry for the ramble--its 3 AM and my meds have just kicked in :)
