Ari Gold- Transport Systems
"R&B-electro-dance sounds that are a pleasant surprise"
~ All Music Guide
"...Takes the listener to fresh places."
~People Magazine, 3 of 4 Stars
"A musically and lyrically ambitious tour de force of modern sexuality, as concerned with turning heads as it is torsos. Its the kind of exuberant soul boogie George Michael once made...and it gives us hope for the future of sexy pop."
~INSTINCT Magazine
"Transport Systems is also ridiculously catchy...another firm R&B tradition"
