The slower songs, like &#8216;Bad Dream\/Hartford&#8217;s Beat Suite&#8217;, are what I call Bob Dylan in reverse, in that Dylan went from an acoustic sound to an electric sound, while the MAGIK MARKERS went from an extreme electric sound to a melodic sound !<\/p>\n<p>Loyal fans of the MAGIK MARKERS&#8217; earlier CDs should not be disappointed, since a lot of those great extreme sounds, remain. Bob Dylan changed his sound and tone because of the influence of the Beatles&#8217; great <em>TWIST AND SHOUT<\/em>, it was a natural evolution and the results were amazing. This MARKERS CD shows Lee Renaldo&#8217;s influence, and the result is likewise a natural evolution, and awesome. The lyrics are great, so play this music loud and often &#8211; and check out their live videos, including the early ones, on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Photographs by: E.
