AVI ROSENFELD BAND
ALBUM REVIEWS
VERY HEEPY VERY PURPLE VIII
+ " the meat of the album is made up on some crunchy neo-classical riffing and solos, Rosenfeld falling somewhere between Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth, and Yngwie Malmsteen. In fact, in contrast to previous albums which definitely had that Heep/Purple influence, I hear more of Yngwie's Rising Force, and specifically those mid '80s albums like Marching Out and Trilogy "
+ "Short enough to be enjoyed in one sitting, Avi Rosenfeld certainly has plenty of talent. Seven Riders’ galloping rhythms, Silent Killer’s catchy chorus and Never Die’s exciting guitar riffs prove that..."
+ " Fans of retro rock and roll will love listening to the latest from Avi Rosenfeld. If you want to take a trip back in time in the rock world, Very Heepy Very Purple VIII will do the job nicely. "
+ " Instrumental tracks such as Jon Snow where this Hebrew guitarist demonstrates skill, feeling and knowing perfectly the legacy of Blackmore, pulling that neoclassical, nostalgic, melancholy that other guitarists like Uli Jon Roth or Axel Rudi Pell ..."
+ " A group of musicians and vocalists from around the world help the Israeli creative to add yet another intense album full of great knits."
+ " Some of the songs are quite strong, like ‘Serenade To The Heroes’ (with a strong vocal performance by Nicholas Walsh) and ‘Ice Storm’ "
+ " The influences can not be more classic: Rainbow, Deep Purple, White Rat, MSG, Nazareth, Uriah Heep, Captain Beyond ... "
+ "... the best shots are the charming melodies and excellent feeling that is shown on “Marco Polo”, the very good work of keyboards and on the rhythmic session of “Save Them All”, the beautiful instrumental song “Jon Snow” (Avi’s playing reminds me of something influenced by Ritchie Blackmore and Mick Box, but with a personal and elegant bluesy touch)..."
