notes

Mike Barnet is not the usual brand of "singer/songwriter" and his new EP the "Bourgeois Backlash" is a definite departure from the "guy with an acoustic guitar" sound.

Its Eddie Grant (ElectricAvenue), Mos Def, Bad Brains, Massive Attack and Richie Havens all at once but distinctly his own style. Blending elements of break beats, punk, folk and some electronica, Mike is creating a style of music he calls Urban Folk Music.

His songs tackle many different topics and his lyrics
are woven together with such passion its obvious that
he has something to say. Commenting on consumerism,
religion, war and life in general this 6 song EP is
refreshing and engaging.

    Dude....I've been listening to this guy at places in the Fullerton area for the past 3 years or so and I have always loved his music. He has so much passion in it, and I love that he brings up issues of injustices that exist in the world. I'm used to just hearing Mike at Plush or Fierros or something....and he's just solo by himself with no extra electronic stuff to it....but I still love this CD....:)

  • Great!

  • A new sound from my favorite artist
    author: Laura

    Overall, Barnet continues to bring to the table new sounds and a strong message. Bourgeois Backlash sounds nothing like Mike's other albums (Art of Drowning; Religion for Robots), so if you're looking for more of what you love of his acoustic/coffehouse sound, you may be disappointed. It's like he took his old sound and went techno.

  • It’s impossible NOT to be affected by it.

    This CD is pure soul thumbing, psyche stirring, spiritual rhythms. Mike’s music infected me with a beat for rebellion. I’m simply addicted.

  • what can you say, fantastic

    this CD is another great example of Mike's work. there is really no classification to his music, except just great music. there are a lot of influences working here. this definetly is a work of art, not just music.

    author: Eddie Negrete

    Mike is an inspiration to us all! He is so gifted in his profession. He expresses his art with vigor and passion! His songs are filled with conviction. His lyrical content are used as an anthem and music to cradle us in. A true testament that great and awesome music is still alive!

  • awesome...

    What a interesting and cool CD. Elements of the 1980's but very original and modern. I'm hard pressed to categorize Mike's music. I would encourage the progressive, opened minded listener to buy this EP now. I think Mike will/should be famous. Hey music industry, please take note.

  • wow...

    I haven't heard music like this before. Its really different and really, really great. I checked out Mike's music because I like his label mate Danny Vasquez and I'm very pleased with what I've found. Buy this record, You'll be glad to hear that people are still trying to create new and innovative music. As I told your label mate, good show Mr. Barnet.
