Sight & Sound is described as "genius pop, ...continuing the pure
pop tradition of Big Star, Raspberries and Badfinger" and for once
such as description is befitting of the music. From the joyous power pop of
Gemini to the sad Never Again, My Love, the quality of Sight & Sound
never wavers, even over 15 tracks (with one instrumental). This is all the
more impressive considering that Sight & Sound was recorded in Chris
von Sneidern's home studio. Other highlights include the haunting melodies
of Somedays and the 12 String Merseybeat of Annalisa. These are the type of
songs that some artists spend their entire career trying to capture. Chris
von Sneidern, is quite simply a natural, up there with the likes of Charles
Jenkins (Icecream Hands) and Michael Mazzerrella (The Rooks). And still I
get the impression that his best work is still to come.
