Boffo at the (think outside of the) Box Office!

Lee Negin's epic Technopera, "The Cheeze Chronicles: Volume V" has become the biggest smash of Summer 2014! Huge in Mongolia and rising in Uranus, critics are unanimous in their praise....

From a 18 July review in IndieGuild, the premier site for international indie musicians:

"Lee Negin, American by birth and currently residing in Seoul, (is) one of the craziest and most brilliant characters of the contemporary musical scene, as well as one of the precursors of post-punk and the so-called “Detroit Techno” of the 80’s.

…the sounds, arranged and amalgamated in layers and spaced out across eight different channels, at a quality level that rises tens of kilometres above the average standards that we are used to, at times seem to be infinite. It is an avant-garde concept that of Negin’s, which follows faithfully in the footsteps of the teachings of the visionary producer of the Beatles, George Martin, but takes a decisive step forward from a conceptual and technical point of view. Helping him in this achievement is the prestigious sound engineer Pete Maher (noteworthy for his previous work with U2, Patti Smith, Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails) who did the final mastering for an album which was otherwise totally self-produced in Negin’s Seoul studio in the DIY tradition of which he is one of the pioneers.

"Lee Negin's 'The Cheeze Chronicles: Volume V'  is not a conventional collection of album tunes.  In breadth, it is operatic.  In scope, it is mesmerising.  The mind is dragged from one sonic experience to the next, sometimes feeling it's been dragged into the depths of space and sometimes back to earth with a rhythmic bang.  It's Lee Negin's most ambitious work yet.  It draws together all the bits that go into making his work so transcendent and mesmerising and slots them all together in one shuddering whole.  This is music for the brain, the guts, the feet and anything else you've got." - Mark Whitby, Dandelion Radio (UK)

"Man, it's a sonic journey of epic proportions. In the world of opera, the Cheeze is mighty indeed. Negin doesn't so much hit the funk button, as kick it all the way to Neptune. I'm loving it." - Simon Humphrey (UK Producer/Engineer: The Clash, Culture Club, David Byrne, Hans Zimmer, Jeff Beck, etc.)
