"A cornucopia of bright, sunshine pop sounds"
Lenny Lions (Shindig Magazine)

"Captivating pop music"
Patrick Donders (Sweet Sweet Music)

"Deuxième volet de la collaboration initiée l’an passé entre le vétéran américain et son disciple espagnol. Du très haut de gamme."
Coraliet Gardet (Section 26)

"Una lección magistral de cómo defender la vigencia y la necesidad del buen pop" Fidel Oltra (Ruta 66)

"Es razonable pensar que este trabajo a cuatro manos entre Marc y Víctor podría haberse sustanciado en un solo elepé algo más extenso, pero estas 11 nuevas muestras refrendan una habilidad nada frecuente a la hora de cuadrar las piezas del puzle de la canción inmaculada"
Fernando Neira (Un Disco Al Día)

TURNING ON MARC AND VICTOR. AGAIN.

As I write this evening, a heavy snow – the third such disturbance in as many weeks – pelts outside the window just above my Mac. But here inside, warm as toast, lights stay low, the cat purrs across my lap... and a most happy Sparrow is filling not only my headphones, but my deepest, most storm-free of souls.
Because two of our most prized friends in harmony have brought us their latest thirty-four thirty-seven of sounds fit to soothe even these most tricky 'n' troublesome times.
For like John, Paul, Felice and Boudleaux, Brian, Leiber, Pomus, Stoller et al before them, and us, Messrs. Ramirez and Jonson forever know precisely just which words and notes work best, where, and when. Then, when all's said and sung the results are as pure as pop once was, and could ...no, should be anew.
Quite the big tall task in turning on Century 21, you bet! But Marc and Victor sure are UP for it.
Now, while I may hear and there a Cowsill-worthy Casio line, or sense an Association of Mamas and Papas walking us to school, the ambience and atmosphere above and around is ultimately "nostalgic" only in the way a dear old friend or favoured, too-oft-forgotten pullover may feel. Or really, as Song 6 says, it's very simply stoic. Like the sturdiest Brill Building. Your current Stricken Girl of choice. Or, suffice to say, a friendly 1 - 4 - 5 in Buddy's beloved Key of Beat.
This is indeed the kind of album – remember albums ? – that can put you, in fact take you away to spots which resonate as they reflect, refract, then surely replenish and rebuild the broken heart, the broken mind, and certainly the broken spirit. Remember: Music can do that; Good musicians, and songwriters, make it so. As we can positively hear, right here, through and through these dozen radiant songs.
So! To sum it? Never slip in the rain. Always stay hip in the rain (and even the snow). Go where these two magic music makers will lead, for this latest Turning On The Century will make you glad to feel alive.
Trust me. 'Cause, you know, good vibes never lie.

P.S. and Get some sleep tonight,
