Robin Moore
At: Now (2008) is a statement of sorts, with ballad-style tunes such as “What You Wanted” and things a bit more upbeat, such as “Promised.”
Moore’s short story is not much different from dozens of others who have tried and continue to try to get attention in the crazy world of music sales. What Robin Moore offers up front, on a Web site, is clips/samples of several tunes that sound interesting. It’s hard to say where this is all going.
Moore has excellent credentials: Berklee College of Music; performance experience; composing and editing for film and television; songwriting. But check this out, from the Web site:
“On July 12, 2007, Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Robin Moore awoke from a 13 year, life-induced, walking coma.”
A life-changing illness? No, just a decision to go on to other things, such as original music for which Moore himself is the performer. Words like “restrained” and “compelling” are tossed around when writing about Moore’s new effort. Some of it is just that.
Moore certainly has some musicians with chops to help him out. On drums is Joel Domantay. Bass man Dan Erlich has worked with Ziggy Marley, Debbie Gibson and Storm 420, according to Moore’s info.
He cites a number of classic rock and pop artists as influences. It’s an impressive list, to say the least. Keep your ear to the ground for Robin Moore.
