REVIEWS
"Cohen's Ghost is a fine example of what vocal world music should sound like. Blending deep percussion based grooves with smooth and seductive vocals, Cohen's Ghost has not only managed to create a lush, haunting, and seductive soundscape of smooth vocals and instrumentation, but he has also managed to make my my mind drift into a different time in my life.
The album contains an excellent mix of sounds and textures ranging from deeply rhythmic percussion, to wispy woodwind sounds, haunting vocal overlays, and the occasional creepy ambient piano. Layered exquisitely, nothing on this album seems out of place. The sounds fit together as if they were genetically designed to do so.
While Cohen's Ghost did a great job with producing the album's wonderful instrumentation, arrangement, and flow, the real highlight are his vocals. The lead vocalist's soft and raspy vocals are chilling and surreal, carrying a Bruce Springteenesque quality. though not always overly melodic, they are, however, extremely evocative. They flow along with the smooth and eerie soundscape beautifully.
High marks are given for song structure, production, and recording quality. This is a wonderful album and not something simply thrown together.
Bottom line, Songs of Lingering Shades is a highly recommended listen."

"Wow... A very trippy sound that reminds me of Trent Reznor meets Icehouse. With the story telling mashed up against a decidedly alternative beat and minimalist guitars. I don't know how exaclty to describe Cohen's Ghost, I just know that I like it.... He is like Edgar Alan Poe with music. I must leave now, as Cohen's Ghost is haunting me."
