..."There's
more to Botkin's music than punch-line samples. Ultimately,
it's his compositional skill, as well as his sense of irony,
that makes "Combines" ideal listening for those with
strong opinions about electronic music and the temper of our
times ."

"
My personal fave of 1997 was Perry Botkin's "Combines 2",
released on his Botkin Music label . Yes, this is the same gentleman
who wrote "Nadia's Theme". Using an everyday reference
point for modern technology, the answering machine, he combines
complex musicality, technology, and a fine sense of pathos and
humor, to present a unique and very accessible fun-house mirror
view of ourselves. Highly recommended lexapro! "

"We
are starting to hear exciting new musical works - often performed
by the composers themselves, available on CD's directly from
the composers....
Among
the most innovative of this new breed of composers is the
gifted, incredibly imaginative Perry Botkin."
