Seems as though Mr. Ludi has lost all his faith in the music world and all involved. His tear sheet that comes with the cd more or less declares that he doesn't want any fame or fortune out of music. Only to make a living. It's too bad because if this was to be taken into a proper studio, as opposed to being recorded at home, and tweaked properly, Ludi's vocals and great songwriting would be exposed and supported properly. His has a voice that rivals David Bowie at the best of times. The album sound a bit gothic at times but I don't think that it was done on purpose. The production is more to blame for that. This album would have fit nicely in the early 90's scene, pre-grunge. It's amazing that with as much negative energy as John Ludi puts into writing about the music industry how postitive the final result, disregarding some of the lyrics, is very refreshing and a fine example of what the rest of the music industry is missing out on. So my final words for John are "Buck up little buddy. Your music reaches the hearts of many.".
