			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;A new force to be reckoned with in Australian music&#8221;<br />
<em>- Kevin Jones, ABC Limelight Magazine</em> <strong>* * * *</strong></p>
<p>“Hypnotic Afro – Brazilian accented jazz”<br />
<em>– Doug Spencer, Weekend Planet, Radio National</em></p>
<p>&#8220;The energy in SCAM is driven by DeVries and Pereira. Dale adds delicacy and depth&#8221;<br />
<em>– Roger Mitchell, Sunday Herald Sun</em> <strong>* * * *</strong></p>
<p>“Steeped in Brazilian rhythms with the percussion sound coming out of Africa”<br />
<em>– Leon Gettler, The Age<em> </em></em></p>
<p><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;A smorgasbord of intricate melodies, delicate phrasing and some pretty funky chops&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- Seth Jordan, Music journalist/broadcaster<em> </em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;They break down musical barriers as they take in and remix Brazilian, African, Flamenco and Jazz elements&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- Lucky Oceans, The Daily Planet &#8211; CD of the week, Radio National<em> </em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;Relaxed music with a sunny disposition and a South American Sway&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald</em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;Absolutely beautiful music&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- Frank Woodley</em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;Oh, I do like the album. It&#8217;s warm and playful&#8230; clearly performed in a relaxed setting.<br />
And it&#8217;s beautifully recorded and mixed: Clear and strong without being clinical&#8221;</span><br />
</em><em>- Mal Webb</em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;From the first guitar strum you know this is going to be some classy album. Three great musicians at the height of their powers playing tunes soaked in the sounds of Brazil, Africa, India, Jazz and just about everywhere else. With a stellar lineup of friends helping out on various tracks. It’s highly recommended&#8221;</span><br />
<em>-Michael Havir</em></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been wanting to have some music like this to play for ages, warm instrumental, with lots of variety but with overall cohesion too&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- Jodi Satya</em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">“The right combination of knowledge, skill and passion”</span></em></em></em></em></em></em><br />
<em><em><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em>-Victor Valdez</em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></span></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em> </em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em>&#8220;Sounds really simple to me, and thus beautiful and MUSICAL!!&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- Conrad Exton (Dr Sax)</em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;Guitar Rhythms that conjure old Spain and desert nights, an alto sax that swoops and soars above it, pinned by the passion of a tight Latin beat. Close your eyes and take a trip to places wild and myserious and let these hauntingly beautiful sounds wash over you&#8230;..&#8221;</span><br />
<em>-Carolyn Logan</em></span></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em> </em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;Louie Prez, delivers a fluid, rhapsodic musical journey. Just when you think you&#8217;ve nailed this cool dude&#8217;s musical persona he pops up with a whole other pulse racing identity. Whoever you are Louie, SCAM on&#8221;</span><br />
<em>-  Mac Gudgeon</em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em> </em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em> </em></em></em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;An original and eclectic mix, space jumping around the globe. The experience of the group members is obvious, diverse and most importantly complementary&#8221;</span><br />
<em>- David Wells</em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em> <span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;I found this album to be beautifully thought through. The timbre of each instrument is brought out clearly so every nuance can be heard. This album is full of variety and expression. The melodies are gorgeous, and some of the brazilian style grooves and feels are really driving. This is a pleasurable feast for the ears, played by musicians of the highest standard&#8221;</span><br />
<em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em>- Martha Baartz<br />
<span style="font-style: normal;"><br />
&#8220;Louie Prez &#8211; Steps into your ears and pours you a relaxing drink with performances that are effortless and heartfelt and always mindful to let the notes breathe. No forcing of ideas, just a smooth flow of grooves and melodies that will have you reaching for a cigar and possibly a plane ticket for somewhere far more exotic than you are right now&#8221;</span><br />
- Justin Dwyer</em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;The Louie Prez album Scam makes for a beautiful focal point on solo listening, and provides an ambient air in the company of guests&#8221;</span></em><br />
<em>- Rosie Collins</em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">&#8220;These guys know how to take you places&#8221;</span><br />
<em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em>- Jean-Luc Roland<br />
<em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em> </em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></p>
