FFF PRESS

*"..hats off to Vega for producing a generally very nice album obviously on a budget – and under the added pressure of being stalked by a “crazy person”. It seems that Vega is having auditions to recruit a live band to play this material live and this will probably be when the thing really comes to life."
Dutch Progressive Rock Page Critique

*"On the record Patrick did all the guitar and bass parts and he also was the responsible for the Synth and Drum Programming, in other words he did all the album by himself what is really cool to see that he was able to compose and create arrangements for the whole instruments. Patrick is definitely a great player and I think his songs will get some good recognition, so it worths listening!"
(Guitar Clinic Review Guitar Clinic.net & www.guitarclinic.com.br (Portuguese))

*"The truth of the matter is that what Patrick is saying makes perfect sense. Besides being an awesome musician, Patrick is one of the most down to earth guys you will ever get to read about."
(Juniors Cave Online Magazine Juniors Cave Vega Interview Click Here)

* "Freefall Faith Firestorm is a highly entertaining album displaying a guitar player who is blessed with some great chops. His playing is highly accessible & dare I say, commercial thanks to his focus within all the songs on melody. Playing wise he has the swagger of Slash & the rocking fineness of Joe Perry all topped off with the schooled techniques of Joe Satriani."
(Al Hay/Hard Rock House)

* "The track is focused on structure & melody. It can be tempting in instrumental songs to put the focus on technique (yours is great by the way) rather than melody. Cool musicianship that feels mature and creates a good mood."
(TAXI on the FFF song "War Party")

* „Lo cierto es que si desean oír un buen instrumental, donde la guitarra es la protagonista, pero sin buscar ir a dos mil por hora de puro riff, esta es mas que una buena chance de hacerlo.“
(Lucas Gordon/www.mundorock.org)

* "Interessante lavoro per Patrick Vega che ci presenta questo suo esordio formato da otto songs che spaziano dal rock americano al funk. Lo stile di Vega ci ricorda molto il primo Satriani. Si parte con la rockeggiante Camael per poi proseguire nell'interessante My Demons dove Patrick sforna le sue doti da vero shredder! Da mensionare le tracce più interessanti come No One, una power-ballad con bellissime melodie ben azzeccate e la finale The Big Lion sorretta da un bel riff rock-metal. Patrick vuole accentuare che il tutto è stato prodotto in camera da letto dallo stesso Vega, ma oramai non è più una novità, se un artista ha delle buone idee e le capacità tecniche non mancano si potrebber produrre un disco professionale anche in bagno! Troppo esagerato? Ok, allora accaparratevi questo album!"
(Matt Caffissi/Guitar Chef)

*"This new album shows his great talent and excellent guitar performance overall. Amazingly, there are no boring moments. Mostly done and performed instrumentally by Vega on his premiere debut album, he carefully prepares various guitar-oriented music with nice music sensibility and good dynamics."
(Hamanaka.com/PilgrimWorld's FFF review. Read more...)

* "Vega's debut album...hasn't left my stereo since I got it. Tuned down guitars are jamming heavy riffs, catchy lead lines, drenched wah melodies & jaw dropping solos. The album never loses clear sight of melody, feel & groove & almost comes across like a movie soundtrack to Vega's musician life in LA. From vintage clean to over the edge Nu-Metal distortion, FFF has it all & more in one distinct - up to date - in your face package."
(Steve Klein/Guitarobsession Magazine)

* „That guy can shred with the best of them but he doesn’t stick it in your forehead with a fork. You know it’s there but it’s smooth & unforced.“
(Rob Gemmler/Studio Force)

* "This album is different than anything else outthere. Go ahead compare it. The vision of FFF was to create something unique...very modern, heavy, guitaristically & artistically interesting yet accessible & enjoyable. I can go off on my guitar like a self obsessed maniac an album's worth easily, but that's done to death we've already heard that. FFF is so much more. It's open & alternate tunings, life-inspired songwriting & lots of honesty, heart & vibe. Listen to FFF & you will feel it & you will enjoy my vision & ask for more."
(Excerpt from Online Interview: Patrick Vega talks about Freefall Faith Firestorm)

* It’s all about visuals and emotions. Lyrics or instrumental..doesn’t matter..it hit’s the spot when it touches you. I have a very colorful imagination; always had. See that beach there in the distance? I can smell the salt.."

   About Patrick Vega

<

VEGA, Freefall Faith Firestorm (2007, FFF),
WHAT MUSIC IS IT?
Guitar for the people: Compelling Rock songs without vocals. Focused on feel, structure and melody. Strong, determined, driving and elegantly heavy. You dig?
If you wanna be put in a special mood and fly away for a while..: Freefall Faith Firestorm : 30 minutes of pure honesty, vibe and feel packed in this little CD you can take home. Ever wondered what DIY is? me and my album..that's DIY, it’s all me and out of my bedroom. A more personal album there cannot be.

PATRICK VEGA
Having performed with countless bands at most LA clubs and at national tours such as the Vans Warped Tour and having recorded at major studios like Henson, Paramount, Matrix, Elementree Studios, etc Patrick Vega combines his studio and live experience as a band-guitarist backing a lead singer with his extreme passion for writing guitar instrumentals and releases his debut “Rock Guitar Instrumental Album� Freefall Faith Firestorm (2007 FFF).

Not having been discouraged by the state of the industry, Indie-labels going bankrupt (read Vega’s blog “Illegal Downloading – the death of up and coming artists�) or turning him down, Vega did the entire record as a one man band and released the CD on his own label FFF Music (formerly FFF Records).

Vega: “I took advantage of our day and age of 'Do It Yourself' attitude. Recording, releasing and promoting an album entirely on your own wouldn’t have been possible a few years ago: The internet and various modern music software and instruments now make it all possible.�

Vega recorded all the guitars and bass and programmed the drums and the synthesizers on Freefall Faith Firestorm. Not because he is such a control freak. "It was strictly out of necessity: Keep the budget as low as possible AND the challenge: is it possible doing this all by myself?"

Vega: �The vision behind this record was to show the world what you can do entirely on your own and to create music that is guitaristically interesting and full of passion for the guitar; yet the album had to be made of songs that are accessible and entertaining.
The title ‘Freefall Faith Firestorm’ is in my head since I was 15 years old and the songs represent my evolvement as a musician and as a guitarist. The music on this record is the combination of me and my guitar & all the influences and inspirations that came from working with and learning from so many different people.�

On every track the main focus is on structure and melody which results in a “highly entertaining album� (Hard Rock House) “with no boring moments� (Pilgrim’s World).

NEW ALBUM
Right now, Patrick is working on the follow up album to Freefall Faith Firestorm (which was released in late Dec 07) which will also be released through his label FFF Music in late ‘08.

Summer 2008 will see Vega live appearances in the LA area: Patrick will perform some of the Freefall Faith Firestorm material along with a few older songs and will also present some brand new material which will be on the new album (show dates TBA).
