Hi Taxi Friends~I found this online today...as i thought it would only be inKorea's "Bling" Magazine..I hope i am not out of line posting here...im a bit shy to post this...but oh well i should be brave: )..here's the text for those that don't have +20/20 vision:"Geoff's music can only be described as a trip within sounds andemotions that is uniquely based on his rather unusual, yetfamiliar experiences in life. It is familiar to us because one of itsingredients is an all well know question about life and how it relates to our reality day to day. One might be tempted to sayit is the pain that drives him but that would be easily argued because Geoff simply loves life. Today as a member of the band Faded (in charge of bass), he writes and produces poetic songswith such titles as "A sacred memory revisited", "Dreaming mylife away" and "Fading" in his spare time. Don't let that 'spare time' thing fool you, he knows what he is doing.Nostrant is a 33 years old 4 year veteran to Korea((actuallyits 6 years but who's counting;)) and he spent most of that timetrying to tell you that music, beyond its physicality, is a mentalthing, a spiritual thing, a personal thing. No, he is not crazy or even unreasonable, which most musicians are these days.((not sure i agree..both about the not crazy and musicians being unreasonable thing;)) He is quite lyrical and deep in his own philosophy. What is also stirring about Geoff is his manner towards others around him. For as long as I've been interviewingmusicians, I've never met one so agreeable and humble at heart.I was particularly moved by "Dreaming my life away" remixed byJpath. If you haven't heard it, it's time for you to drop what you are doing and visit him at his Myspace to sample what I could onlydescribe as one of the best kept secrets in music in Korea."<Written by Julian Kong>whoo hoo:)it made my day!

Very nice! For everyone else who wishes they could be the subject of a nice article like that, spill the beans: Did they look you up, or did you send out a press release or a tip?Kathleen
