"A dreamy song cycle of new
age instrumentals, soft rock, and Celtic moods, emanating from the textures of McCloud's
Roland GR-1. The best moments are when McCloud gets earthy with Celtic-tinged melodies and
the more rocklike structures... Spacy, synthy, meditative music, with a digital
veneer. "-
Jim Esch , Sparks E-zine Reviews
"Brendan
McCloud's debut CD, On the Edge Of Time (Ancient Futures). The songs tend
to be an amalgamation of Celtic overtones, soft rock and some sort of ethereal,
digital experience... The CD starts off in an Arthurian way with "Lady of
the Lake" -- I'm sure that those of you familiar with Avalon will enjoy it
as much as I do. "Song for Leonardo" is a little slower in tempo, but
every bit as good. "Blues for Meriwether Lewis" is almost ballad-like.
For some reason I can picture Phil Collins singing "Love Overdrive." I
can't put my finger on exactly why this is, but the resemblance is almost
uncanny! My favorite song is "White Heat." There is a little hook in
the background that just kind of grabs you. I also like the guitar playing. I
wish I had McCloud's talent" - Wil Owen, Rambles.net - A Cultural
