"Every household in the state shall be required to purchase and maintain in good working order a copy of the compact disc Greetings From Area Code 207, Volume 5 (proceeds from the sale of which go to support the St. Lawrence Arts and Community Center in Portland) and to play said disc to as many people as possible in order to promote the rich mixture of local musical talent displayed therein." "The overall mix is remarkably strong. When you consider that this album doesn¹t even take into account the heavier side of the Portland music scene, it really makes you stop and think about what we have here in this little city of 65,000 music lovers. Don¹t take this talent for granted. Buy this album and force it upon all your out-of-state relatives for Christmas." "Volume 5 is another feather in the cap for the local music scene here in Maine as Charlie Gaylord has come through again and has assembled an eclectic collection of songs." "Fewer people live in the entire state of Maine than in the Greater Austin metro area but the overall picture is that, size for weight, there's an extraordinarily flourishing music scene up there." "The secret to the success of these compilations is simple: they just flat-out contain great music. This is the third GFAC 207 compilation I have received to review, and this is the third time I have been impressed by the quality of music that they have been able to collect... The GFAC 207 series is simply one of the most dependable compilation series that I have heard." |
