"Now each track is a symphonic epic in itself, with synths (and in
particular the great Moog) almost constantly at the fore... Chris Fournier
deserves the strongest support for being able, with each successive release, to
make such significant progress." Big Bang Magazine
"A phenomenal work." Music Uncovered
This is quite an astonishing album, as Fournier avoids the boredom usually
associated with instrumental keyboard efforts, including enough variety and drama to hold
the listener's interest... Expose (Steve Robey)
"Earth Shaper is a travel into a fantasy land..." Expose (Alain Lachapelle)
The music moves between airy synth passages and addicting riff-based explorations. Expose (Dan Casey)
"Compared to the vast majority of current 'progressives', Fonya is not only
especially remarkable as a one-man band, but also as an accomplished rock
arranger. His talent for huge symphonic wedges of sound and beautifully crafted
instrumentals sets him aside from the plethora of mundane tenth-rate Pendragon,
Pallas, IQ wannabees." Audion
