How exciting to have father and son play with and against each other musically and blend so well in harmony. .....Sundad's music is highly entertaining and will appeal to several kinds of audiences; mellow guitar, New Age or World fusion listeners. It is the soundtrack for a modern lifestyle that deserves a little breather."Robert Silverstein - MUSIC WEB EXPRESS 3000 "Instrumental acoustic guitar music at its finest, Sundad's The Journey Continues brings New Age into the future with a hypnotic and supremely relaxing album of meditative guitar magic."Luthier Rob DiStefano - www.frettech.com "Sundad's release is the perfect melodic/percussive "World Fusion Age" CD ...."Maria of The Moonlight Stream on BostonPete.com says: "Sundad creates World Fusion and New Age music -- intricate rhythms and beautiful guitar harmonies that capture your heart and soul."
