Bluesy and spatial at the same time, Visions is a fine introduction to Gabriel’s tasteful guitar playing. There’s also a spacey, retro-bent surf-rock vibe on hand that mixes well with Gabriel’s potent approach to instrumental rock fusion. With Gabriel writing and performing all the guitars, bass, keyboards and drums as well as producing, mixing and mastering the entire CD Visions offers a rockin’ surprise for fans of adventurous electric guitar sounds." - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mwe3.com/archive/summer2006spotlight.htm"> Music Web Express</a></font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"It’s an exhilarating outing that consists of energy and speed. With great power comes great responsibility. Michael Gabriel is liable for this function and in his efforts; he engineers a framework with precision and grace. While the tiniest fragment could rip its hull apart, the ride is as soft as a feather-filled pillow or a fluffy down blanket. Likewise, the fuselage is as rigid as a concrete block." - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.richardkolp.com/MichaelGabrielVisions.htm"> RichardKolp.com</a></font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"Michael Gabriel's "Visions" Is so unique in style and composition that it really grabs your attention. The opening tune Cosmos is one of the coolest opening tunes I have heard in some time. Full of twist and turns throughout and never knowing what to expect around the next corner make this CD a must listen." - <a href="http://www.richardkolp.com" target="_blank">Upbeat and More</a></font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"These tunes contain some of the swankiest and classiest expressions ever seen on this side of the fence." - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.richardkolp.com/MichaelGabrielVisions.htm"> RichardKolp.com</a></font></b></p> <font face="Arial, Helvetica"> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"Just like this song opens, from start to finish is a showcase of musicianship." - <font class="body"> <a href="http://www.garageband.com/artist/codycarpenter" target="_blank">Cody Carpenter</a>,  Songwriter</font></font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"Absolutely mind blowing" - <a href="http://www.pzaaz.com/jasonchitwood" target="_blank">Jason Chitwood</a>, Musician</font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"Michael, THAT is some awesome guitar playing!!" - <a href="http://www.soundclick.com/dianebarnes" target="_blank">Diane Barnes</a>, Musician</font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Garamond" size="4">"Outlaw is a great tune.

This cd is NOT one of those. The songs are very well composed, written, arranged and performed. There is a very wide musical spectrum thought the entire disk and each song has it's own personality and feel. These songs actually take you on a musical journey. Every Musician wears his heart on his sleeve & is sometimes their own worst critic and very protective of their baby. But I can say with all honesty. Michael Gabriel plays with a style all his own, that does draw off of his influences which you can hear, But plays with an emotion and feel Not very many players can match. This musician not only wears his heart on his sleeve, but Plays with his Soul as well." - <a target="_blank" href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/michaelgabriel">Reviewer on cdbaby.com</a><br> <br> "Michael Gabriel brings back styles from the past in a one of a kind method that can be only explained as perfection when put into Visions" - <a target="_blank" href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/michaelgabriel">Reviewer on cdbaby.com</a><br> <br> "In Visions you will find your own path that lead you to your visionary place." - <a target="_blank" href="http://artofkerem.sitesled.com">Kerem</a><br> <br> "After I listened to the whole thing (Visions cd) all the way through I was amazed..." - <a target="_blank" href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/michaelgabriel"> Reviewer on cdbaby.com</a></b></p> </font>
