 “Cactus World News Urban Beaches album hanging beside Sinead in Irish Rock n Roll museum. What you are looking at here is the original cover for the Urban Beaches record, it was photographed by Brian Griffen who shot the Echo and the Bunnymen covers among others. The location was a disused Radar (or microwave) reflector on Howth hill. A different cover was used for MCA Records in USA. Produced by Chris Kimsey I listened to the album today not having heard it in ages, It hasn’t aged, it still sounds fresh and way ahead of it’s time.”

“Erja Lyytinen’s a great player and the collaboration with Chris Kimsey has really paid off; production is huge and musical, tone are fabulous, and almost every track is a stand-out. Fantastic from start to finish.” Guitar Techniques makes Erja Lyytinen’s “Stolen Hearts” Album of the Month (5 Stars).

Fun show. Rocks hard. 99% by Bad Touch sounds like a smash to me, Great, snarling, sound. Congratulations, Chris Kimsey. You did it again!
