Review of The War of the GodsAs always, Matt's works have many levels. His use of SFX and music fit just right for this piece. Nostalgic, and has a cool, smooth pace to it. |

Review of The War of the Gods
Bravo! I couldn't even get past the E's in listing the tones for the piece. Well produced, read by a real voice. I don't much like poetry; pretty much "Casey at Bat" and Shel Silverstien and I top out. I know, I know. This was good, though, and I think even I can tell. I like the addition of music and "style."
