I have to say, Jeff Pearce is one of my most favorite musicians - all electric
guitar (and now, Stick) and effects - electro-electronic? My favorite Jeff Pearce
CD is "The Hidden Rift" on Ancient Sun Music

I recorded, mixed and co-produced this album - my wife did the artwork and
it's on our label.
Crow's description of Jeff's music is very good and while we all know who the
nicest person in the universe is, know that Jeff runs at least a close second.
Also, I would like his music even if he didn't have a recording on my label. :-)
