The Love Bus Reviews

It isn't every day that you hear music that lifts your spirits and makes you want to sing, or fly, or at the very least crack a big smile". Lennox Wave Magazine - Dec 2005

Going with the Flow is highly inspiring and drenched in freedom. Byron Shire News - Jan 2006

The snappy production and clear sounds make the music very easy listening. The relaxing melodies and emotive guitar riffs set the scene nicely and take you into their world. Funky guitars, jazzy drums, fretless bass and fresh sounding vocals. The mood is clear on this CD and it is relax, and as the title says, you will be going with the flow. Definitely worth a listen!

All Summer Long Soundtrack Review

"All Summer Long" Soundtrack - Reviewed by Pacific Longboarder Magazine - 2004

A gem of a soundtrack that deftly weaves its musical tracks from funk, to remixes, through to soulful guitar instrumentals.
A 12 track album, versatility is its strength - due to two truly talented musicians, Fliss & Birdy, who reside on the surf-saturated NSW North Coast. Undeniably drawing influences from the ocean, they manage to stay away from the "walking the plank" or "shooting the curl" sort of stuff and focus on the natural forces at hand.

Upbeat without being "boppy" and soulful without being "soppy", its perfect for a road trip - cruisy with a dash of R&B. Naturally it gels well with the movie, but its more than capable of standing on its own. A few of the standout tracks among many are "Oceanheart", an observation of the ocean and its waves, a brilliant remix of Sly and the Family Stone's "Dance to the Music" (renamed "Mystic") which will blow your thongs off, plus "Glad to be Alive" which sums up the joyfull simplicities of life.

The "All Summer Long" CD was reviewed in the Brisbane Courier Mail as "The best surf soundtrack since Morning of the Earth" - Big call, but not without merit - the songs on this little disc will appeal to a wide audience.

Artist: Fliss

Sincerity. That's the leading attribute of Fliss's music. The reassuring presence of a song like "Sister" shines, the simplicity of its sentiments grounded by the tenderness of the arrangement.

With the easy pace set by finger-picked guitar, Fliss lends a sweetly sincere vocals to "Sister". Framed with double vocals and double violins, this song taps classic songwriting and arranging values while offering its own fresh approach.

I listened to this piece 3 times, and I'm still listening. Pardon me for saying this, but really, I am just at bay how to go about this review. This song is just absolutely wonderful. The guitar and violin accompaniment just adds so much flavour to this melancholically beautiful tune, that I don't know what else to say. The changes and the breaks in some places were top notch as well.
Lastly, and certainly the most worth of mention in this song is your vocal style. The way you choose to throw your words, play around with the different textures of vocal chords and notes, it is just highly impressive. Are you signed? The whole compostion is worthy of more and more listens, as this is very, very matured and good indeed. Thanks for giving me the pleasure of hearing and reviewing it.
