REVIEWS... 'Canada's Falcons are back with a much wished for EP collection plus unreleased tracks! We forever rave over one of the best modern guitar bands and for the unique guitar sound they create. Rightly so. This is a collection of the early EPs via CD and cassette that they did plus a few newies - 'Shadow Land' and 'Tina' are still amazing. Can't imagine anybody who likes guitars not loving The Falcons.' **** (4 stars) Davy Peckett, New Gandy Dancer, UK 'The Falcons have been quite prolific recently - this is the second CD they've released this year. With the EP Collection, you get 13 songs taken from EP's and compilations released between 1991 and 1997, plus several unreleased songs. Simply put, if you like The Shadows, then The Falcons are a band you must add to your collection. * * * * 1/2' - Sean Berry, The Continental Magazine The Falcons have been playing contemporary rock 'instros' (their term) for twenty years and in celebration of that anniversary they are releasing three CDs this year. The 'EP Collection' is the second release in the series and it's a great one...Although the sound is rooted in the past, The Falcons are not a retro band. They are taking an established form and moving it someplace a little different. They call it 'Instros for Moderns'. - Richard Samuell, BC Musician YESTERDAY'S REVIEWS... THE FALCONS 1992 cassette: 'What a surprise this turned out to be. Three '50s-style geetar instrumentals played with real heart and none of the cheesy irony you'd expect from Shadowy Men or Huevos Rancheros. Recorded in mono (I think), it actually sounds like you're spinning thru the desert blaring the AM radio.' - Paul Kelly, National Chart, Toronto, Canada 'Want a perfect soundtrack for a road trip through the American and/or Mexican desert? The Falcons are a Vancouver quartet, playing guitar-oriented instrumentals with a Spanish flavour. What impressed me most was how good they sound as a band. All of the parts are so well integrated that the whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts. A rare group whose every note, chord, and drum fill means something. 'Tina' makes me romantic for all my favourite westerns and for a desert I've never been to.' - Jeremy Higgs, Offbeat, CKVU, Victoria, Canada THE FALCONS 1994 CD EP Fly By Night: 'THE FALCONS IS HOT!' - Yuzo Sasaki, New Elecki Dynamica, JAPAN 'The most beautifully picked and crafted CD of the year.' - David Arnson, NEW GANDY DANCER.
