This month on Magic Mushroom Records Review: IKE MORIZ

 You Could | Visionary | Drowning (radio edit)

Written by Ike Moriz, Recorded at Tin Pan Alley Studios & Motion Studios, London

A while ago we came in contact with Ike Moriz, a London based singer/songwriter. He sent us his latest CD-single called YOU COULD, recorded at Tin Pan Alley Studios, and released by Mosquito Records & Matchbox Recordings London. With this new release Ike shows that he' s very capable of writing catchy pop tunes. The title song YOU COULD is a relaxed pop song with a nice melody to it. Ike's vocals on this song are very strong. We think this song has hit potential !!!

The second song VISIONARY starts of with strong guitar chords and an aggressive drum pattern. Again the vocals are spot on! When you play this song, please turn up the volume, it really kicks ... Our favourite song on this CD is DROWNING. This sixties-like tune is right up our alley, because Magic Mushroom Records is all about sixties orientated music. It reminded us of David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) and even a bit of The Beatles... Well, what more can we say?  YOU COULD is a winner ! We can' t wait for the next release. We give this release: 5 / 5 stars

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Tony Dee, ZAzone.com, Cape Town, SA, 16.9.2005, Ike Moriz - Play Me (album review) "Ike Moriz is back with a new 8 track CD: `Play Me`.It opens softly with `Hey, hey-hey, hey` but the song picks up-tempo. It got pop elements to it, but has heavier rock guitar work in parts," ... "`Play Me`, the title track, is very good - great lyrics, good hooks and nice mix of music and vocals - no wonder it was chosen as the title track. `I Feel Real` takes one or two listens before becoming a song that you can really enjoy, it`s different and has a good edge to it. `Every Time The Sun` slows things down with a slight acoustic guitar feel, a very good variation between the other tracks. `Light Is Dark` is my second favourite song on the CD. The chorus is filled with backing vocals which adds a great effect to the song." ..."`Dull Blue Eyes` makes up for the previous song and is quite catchy. The album closes with `The Sad Songs` which slows things down and is one of those ty
