    lovely original work. Not at all mainstream, and some excellent lyrics. The books and cd's are priceless! Rain in the desert!

  • awesome
    author: Stephen

    It's nice to hear some original work, I've been getting fed up with artists who never come with anything of there own. This is great! -and the books it comes with are also awesome, earning a 5 star extra credit... that means this is a 10 star deal! good job Moontagu family :D

  • Written In Stone.
    author: Tony Jones

    Good to hear some decent music. I enjoyed listening to this CD very much. I'm a keyboard player and vocalist so liked the musicianship featured here.

  • like, cool man
    author: Philip Carpenter

    I really liked this cd actually. It has a number of different sounds on it, including a digereedoo (spelling?? well phonetically it's close eh?). I thought this cd was creative and interesting. Not too much sunshine in it though...

  • Written in Stone

  • Rocking Montaigue's!
    author: Maurice Westerlaan

    I must admit that I was mainly interested in the extra cd, with published books etc. But I must also admit that I like the music too, and I think it's quite special that an entire family work together as a band. My compliments and kind regards. Maurice.

  • The Moontagu's rock!
    author: Jason DeAlba

    I was not sure what to expect. The Moontagu's are very talented mustician in my opinion. I do like rock and blues. But I really bought the CD for the free Kung Fu information.

  • WRITTEN IN STONE
    author: dimon

    Wonderful music !!!!!!!!!

  • Written in Stone
    author: Dee Dee

    Very impressive young musicians! Such a talented and inspiring family....and the extra bonus of books and Taiji information is priceless to me. Thanks for your generous sharing and the wonderful music. There is magic when a family creates together!

  • author: Mike

    This is an awesome album, thank you Montaigue Family!

  • better than i expected!!!!!
    author: ELNA R SABINE
  • I didn't know what to expect, and it was quite a surprise to hear!
    author: David Brunetta

    Reminds me of growing up w/ a dad who played banjo, guitar elec and acoust, who wrote original songs w/ us all involved! I played sandpaper. I could hear the bond of love in the songs, Erle and family! Would love the printed out lyrics of these songs if possible? Written in stone, and the digerydo my favorites - so far.

  • GOOD
    author: GILBERT HODGES

    THIS CD WAS ONE THAT WHEN I FIRST LISTENED TO IT, IT WAS OK. BUT I NOTICE WHEN I WAS CLEANING THE HOUSE, WHILE IT WAS PLAYING I ONLY HEARD THE GOOD BLUES-SOFT ROCK AND NEVER NOTICED I HAD CLEANED THE WHOLE HOUSE. GOOD MUSIC ALWAYS TAKES YOU SOME WHERE ELSE. VERY GOOD JOB ERIE AND FAMILY.

  • excellent sound, and the vocals are top notch
    author: Michael Hudson

    well I popped it in the player the day I got it and loved what I heard, I would definately buy any other albums they come out with from here on out.

  • Super
    author: Dick Visscher

    Super Stuff Montaigue Family! Thank you

  • Really good stuff
    author: Chris Grant

    I really enjoy listening to this CD. It's original and a very fresh sound.

  • Just AWESOME!
    author: Ken Miller

    JUST AWESOME!! Fantastic original music that is now added to my mostplayed list. Cannot wait to hear more.

  • stunning, touching, worth the time.
    author: michael garrison

    Truely stunning the amount of raw emotion you feel from the songs on this CD. worth every cent, havent removed it from my CD player sense it arrived, look forward to future releases.

  • I confess...
    author: Javier

    I confess that I only bought the CD to receive books of Erle. But, after I listened to the CD, I can say that It is great! It is a good opportunity for you to listen both traditional and new work, at the same time.

  • Fresh, Raw Even But From Deep Within!
    author: Perry Gamsby

    The music has a fresh, even raw edge to it that says to me the best is yet to come. The mix of old and new voices creates a harmony of its own as you anticipate the next vocal swap while digesting what was said with the lyrics. It can be ambient background, but it is a better album for introspective, selfish absorbtion when you have an hour or so for yourself. Let it lead you places. The sound quality is not quite Sony Records, but then neither is the price. More sophisticated production facilities wouldn;t change the value of the music or the heart of the musicians. I would love to hear them live in a small, cosy pub!

  • a classic feel, but freshly done
    author: Andrew

    If you like bands like The Doors, and you also the natural sounds of bands like Fleetwood Mac, you'll probably like this CD. It's got a nice mix of energy.

  • Old and New
    author: Kurt Levins Sr.

    Moontagu's music contains a basic classic blues/rock background while fusing with it a modern attitude resulting in a truly enjoyable listening experience.

  • Instantly One of My Favorites
    author: Brandon Underwood

    This is a great CD...wonderful musicianship and exceptionally original. The arrangements are very well conceived, with great interplay between instruments, and beautiful melodies that stay with you. The band members are all very accomplished on their instruments, but everyone plays naturally and with heart. The music is very pure and not at all over produced. I am sure the band can play these songs just as well live as they do on the album. This compilation beams with positivity and is just one great song after another. I really enjoy this album and recommend it without hesitation.

  • Great lyrics, soulful sounds - the digeridoo reflects the Aussy roots
    author: Wally Simpson

    Probable the best music these guys have produced to date. The soulful sounds of Nobody's Fool give notice of the emerging talents and great voice of the youngest member Kathleen. While the power and emotion of Written in Stone signal that Erle is still a force to be reconed with in the music world. Didg is a touch of the wonderful talent of Ben, his piano playing takes you away to a better world on this song. Through out the whole alburm Eli beat gets the body wanting to move with the groove. I hope this is only a small taste of things to come!!

  • Soulful music that speaks to the heart
    author: Kevin Dunn

    I have a long, stressful drive to and from work every day. This CD is exactly what I need to help me unwind on the way home.

  • Fantastic (-:
    author: Richard Cuthbertson

    I dug this. Made me feel happy. Bit like a Spring breeze. The free books CD is magic as well.

  • Unique Stuff
    author: Joseph Wellington

    This is really unique. A real Tai Chi Master whose kids also teach this art and they are all in an excellent band together! Unlike most modern music nowadays that is here today, gone tomorrow, this music grows and grows and I have not tired of it. I think it's because it simply makes you feel good listening to it. Maybe has something to do with the Tai Chi influence, although it is rock/blues genre and one would think, nothing to do with Tai chi, the relaxed manner in which it is played and the obvious joy and enthusiasm that the whole family exude is infectious.

  • it's the same as with erle's taichi....very good!
    author: werner bertels

    If they should play this music in my favorite café I should asked for an other beer so that I could listen longer!

  • Music with passion
    author: Morne Swanepoel

    Just one word comes to mind when listening to the Montaigue band.....PASSION ! This is a family with passion for music, and great music it is. Awesome lyrics, excellent tunes just plain brilliant !

  • Hear and Feel the Difference of Musical Genius
    author: Steve McDermott

    Refreshing music to chill out by. A full sound, a lot happening here. Enjoy reminiscing the past...as well as visions of the future. Hear and feel the difference only a family of tai chi masters come musical geniuses can conjure.

  • Received the CD
    author: Chris

    Just oredered the Written In Stone CD two days ago as it is one of the best music I have heard of late. But receiving the free Lessons and Books CD was even more surprising as I have learnt more about self defence in one afternoon than in my whole 25 years of training! Thank you Moontagu.

  • Moontagu just keeps geting better and better
    author: Colin Power

    Songs written with meaning are sadly becoming rare. This album just lifts the soul and shows the depth of music that is Moontagu.

  • Shivers Up Yer SPine
    author: Harry V

    I have this CD and every time I listen to the main track "Written In Stone" when the singer hits those high notes, it sends shivers down my back. Amazing. Can't wait for the next one.

  • Nice music for my ears
    author: Dag L

    This CD from Moontagu had surprisingly nice music for me and my ears. I have loved rock music for 40 years, and I'm also fond of blues. The mixture of these styles on this CD makes it well worth having in one's personal collection.

  • author: Chris Scott.

    The multi talented Montaigue family hace come up trumphs with their Cd Written in Stone. Erle's outstanding reputation as a singer songwriter, earned in Aus. has now travelled with him to Europe! I can not recommend the Cd highly enough to anyone interested in quality writing and singing...buy it now before eveyone else snaps it up and leaves you high and musically dry!

  • Erle`s Blues voice is awesome
    author: Athos Antoniades

    With all the manufactured music around nowdays,it is refreshing to hear real music from real musicians.Erles `Blues` voice is awesome.A must have CD for all `real` music lovers.Also check out Erles earlier work-BRILLIANT!

  • Well played and sung old style rock music for the nolstalgic.
    author: Daniel

    This CD provides very well played and sung tracks of old style rock. If you yearn for relief from current overdriven sounds then listen to this CD. The musicianship sounds crisp and clear, a charactistic of these players. The contrast between the vocalists adds interest to the CD.

  • Something For Everyone Here
    author: Gary Sweet

    In a time when we see most cd albums with one or two good songs and the rest rubbish, this cd album has 10 great songs covering most genres. This is unusual as I found it difficult to find a pigeon hole for this CD. There is blues, Funk, Rock, Ballads, Pop, and even Folk with a World music instrumental thrown in such is the versatility of this band. I will buy this CD when it is available again, hopefully soon.

  • Slick, soulful blues here from the 'family that play together'
    author: Toxic Pete

    Moontagu - Demo - Forever, Forever (www.moontagu.org.uk) Slick, soulful blues here from the 'family that play together'. Moontagu is essentially the Montaigue family; aged between 15 to 57, Moontagu originate from Australia but now live in Wales and have an impressive musical pedigree. 'Forever, Forever' is tasty piece of contemporary blues featuring riff laden guitars with sultry piano that sits snugly alongside and a solidly built rhythm section that holds everything tightly together. This is mature blues, blues nurtured from hard working experience and musical knowledge born from a united family that all seem to be pulling in the same direction whilst looking for and, it has to be said, achieving the same things. 'Forever, Forever' grooves slowly along but there's always something pretty cool going on; if it's not the guitars that take 'stage front' then it the beautifully rolling piano. The vocals are suitably 'pained' with a slightly warm feel but always crystal clear. This 'family' certainly know what they're doing! 'Forever, Forever' is well crafted, expertly arranged and certainly well performed. From the way Moontagu present everything I get the distinct impression that they are all absolute perfectionists and nothing is left to chance. Moontagu have a sound that's quite distinct and well honed. If I'm disappointed about anything here it's that there's only one track to get my teeth into; appetite definitely now whetted I yearn for more from Moontagu.

  • Music cd
    author: Wayne Springer

    Now normally this is not the type of music that i would listen too,but a musician you and your family our great stuff and keep up the good work. This took me back to the days i was a Mod riding around on a scooter three types of music 60's soul, Ska & chill out music of the new world yeah baby.

  • Soulful Rock and Blues
    author: Frank Rolon - Blue Sky Base

    The songs are awesome, very soulful and heartfelt. Great guitar and vocal melodies. I really enjoyed the clips and will buy the CD when it is available. The video is awesome as well.

  • Unique Style - Authentic Musicians
    author: Steve Morris

    The entire album contains a mix of slow soulful melodic rock with some interesting upbeat numbers. Most people prefer the track Forever but Written In Stone is the standout track for me. Everlasting Love, one of the upbeat tunes runs it a close second. Unique vocals added with some well mixed percussive tones make this a highly enjoyable listen.

  • This cd is the real deal
    author: Roger Hack

    There's nothing flashy or pretentious about the music on this cd. Just honest to goodness, down to earth, soulful blues rock. The Moontagu family band play from the heart and that comes through track after track. For anyone who enjoys music with lyrics that actually mean something, this cd is highly recommended.

  • author: Lars-Erik Olsen

    Nice album!! Pleasuring acoustic sound! And excellent for chilling out on the floor infront of the fire with a cup of tea, after a hard day at work. Check it out!!!

  • Fantastic! Very proud to have this in my c.d. case!
    author: Gail Morgan

    Fantastic album from start to finish. Brilliant musicians who play awesome tunes. This c.d. is a must for anyone who appreciates real music!

  • A Breath of fresh air
    author: andy bell

    Good music, good vocals a perfect combination. Excellent!

  • Great songs that stir your emotions!
    author: Espen

    I've known Montaigue for several years, and both he and his children are amazingly talented, both in martial arts and music. The songs on "Written in Stone" are great, Erle's vocal is excellent and the sound is very ambient. Great choice!

  • A CD not from the 60's is added to my collection
    author: Dave McKinnon

    I don't know much about music theory, I know what I enjoy and this brings me back to my favorite period - the 60's. I find rock blues very refreshing. It is amazing that one family has so much talent.

  • lovely, lively and astonishly
    author: Piet v.d. Hout

    Great music, very lively vocals, astonishly play of instruments. And foremost lovely played in harmony and spirit.

  • Still having fun!
    author: Anyah

    Great to hear this band is still having fun. It's a long way from those taiji camp days in the nineties and it's a real pleasure to see how the music has turned out. Keep it up Moontagu!

  • You'll want to hear this over and over!
    author: Kay Thoren

    This is the kind of music you'll play over and over. The songs are from the heart and you can relate to the feelings that come thru the lyrics and just sit back and enjoy the great instrumental sections as real rock blues. A great mix of tunes. You'll never get bored listening to this album. Love it! keep 'em coming Erle!

  • Cool
    author: Jackson Australia

    As much as Erle is a master of martial arts and a master musician, pretty decent singer with it, what continues to inspire me most is Erle's mastery of the "art of living" which this CD shows. The words show a life lived and loved. LIsten to those words. His enthusiasm for everything he does and his sense of family I find truly uplifting and a real testament to himself and what he teaches. Thanks for this clip Erle. Very Cool.

  • IT is ready
    author: Creative Cafe

    Ref. The Song Forever from "Written In Stone" Appeal Enjoyable. Very Enjoyable. I can see this song being performed in small venues and large. I think it’s a crowd pleaser. Like everyone else, the commercial market for this genre is limited (I’m complaining!). The musicianship is excellent. I found myself hoping that there would be extended solos on this track. Good group. I thought the vocal really added to the strength of the song. Good blues voice. So, whoever was singing, you did a great job. I know it’ s very difficult at times to find the right singer for a song (especially demos). Believe me, it makes a big, big difference. The vocalist sold the song, and that’s what you want.

  • interesting fusion of jazz, folk and blues
    author: Michael Babin

    An interesting mix of moods and influences. The vocals and words range from the sweet, smoothness of the young Kathleen to the husky soulfullness of Erle. A great cd for those who can't experience this band live!

  • Refreshing blend of ethnic, rock and folk
    author: Roger Randall

    Buy this CD - you won't regret it! Well crafted and inspirational music to get your foot tapping and insightful lyrics to provoke every mood and emotion possible. Great to hear Erles fantastic voice and searing guitar has not lost any of its power over the years - if anything, its even better than before! The other family members of this unique band perform 'out of their skin' providing strong rhythmical and vocal lines that weave a cascade of sound that is beautiful to behold. Don't waste anymore time reading these reviews - go and buy the CD - NOW!

  • What an amazing colaboration of sounds for the soul!!
    author: Melanie Hedlund-Millbrook, Ontario, Canada

    I find it amazing that this album isn't number 1 on the music charts in both Canada and the United States. How wonderful that a family can bring such emotion and magic to the table and have evolve such a unique a wonderful sound. My personal favorite song has to be Forever!! I will most certainly follow Moontagu's career from this day forward. I can't wait for the next album to come out....Way to go, and thank you so much for bringing such energy to your music!!

  • Great music
    author: James Marincic

    It takes me back to 60s and 70s, I always enjoyed relaxing music that I culd sit back and listen to. This is exsackly the music that I love, great piano ply and great quitar!Not mention the voicess-keep up the great work!Cheers and have a good day Jimbo (FC)

  • A must for anyone looking for music that is both refreshingly novel, directly sp
    author: Josephine Anderson

    The lyrical quality and the idiom of the two voices used, Kathleen’s and Erle’s, in each of the pieces is highly personal, discernable above the rhythm and tonality of the instrumentation, yet melded with it and delivered in the large strokes of the whole band to achieve the effect of a ringing and poignant clarity. Whether it be in the spirit of nostalgia, or the declaration of love that is so self-evident that one need not understand it, but only feel one’s way through it, or the durable lessons of life, the human in all of its warmth and flesh is written in stone, the honesty and integrity of emotions never refuted by time or passing fads. Each member of the band fits together well organically in a sound that works just as the way a family ought to work. A must for anyone looking for music that is both refreshingly novel, directly speaking to the heart, and perennial.

  • Yes that is good musik
    author: Jackson van Huut

    This is real musik which I am used to. If they play this on the Nedlands radio, I will turn it back on again.

  • Truly refreshing! Creatively and artistically arranged by great instrumentalists
    author: Larry Simmons

    I loved this CD. It was absolutely refreshing to listen to such creative music performed by very accomplished musicians! The creative, artistically arranged, and sophisticated instrumentals were a joy. Moontagu exhibits a mastery of many musical genres. Forever was my favorite, but I was truly amazed, entertained, and mesmerized that GREAT music could come from a "DIG".

  • I love this CD
    author: Dave Verma

    I have been a fan of The Moontagu Band for a few years now, the music moves me and the lyrics are inspirational. Its good music ! None of your studio tricks here. Great voices and real acoustic music. You can drive to this music, train to it and chill to it ! Get this CD and you wont be disappointed.

  • Congratulations!!!
    author: Gary Keenan

    Really enjoyed this CD,great instrumentals and a nice blend of vocals from Erle and Kathleen . Takes me back to first hearing them at a camp in Nth NSW and as a group and individually they have come a long way. A very easy listening, enjoyable tape Congratulations :)

  • Great Music
    author: Buzz Smith

    Excellent Album

  • Truly enjoyed the CD. The combination of vocals were excellent.
    author: Al Krych

    Truly enjoyed the entire CD. I have listened to other music written and performed by this artist and by his band. This CD was not a disappointment. The vocals were great, the music tracks were pleasing and Kathleen did an excellent performance singing with her father. I especially liked Forever. I have watched this family band grow together in their blending of unique skills and attributes, this CD is a must listen to.

  • This is a real good album
    author: Bruce J

    A nice mixture of melodic rock and blues. This album really appeals, its fresh and sincere. Really enjoyed it.

  • Awesome
    author: Axel Post

    I really loved this CD. It is very reminicent of the 60s, 70s rock sound that I love. Pure music and great vocals. Has to be the most fantastic new CD I have listened to in years. Awesome stuff!

  • Great album, the Musicianship is great and the vocals are so strong.
    author: Andy Write

    The Variety of songs is wonderful, not like most CD's nowadays that have great songs but all sound the same. This one has great songs and Variety.

  • Deeply Moved with "Written in Stone"
    author: Brian Alexander

    I had of the pleasure of meeting Erle and his family in May 2006 regarding my professional career as a martial artist. Up until that point I had not heard any of their music. Being a former musician of moderate success myself I was excited when I received a sample CD. I remember sitting back at that hotel that evening listening to the CD when the song “Written in Stone” came on. I was deeply moved by this song and played it over and over many times. It evoked strong feelings in me (guess I'm sort of a romantic at heart). It is my belief that anyone who listens to this song closely will see that there is something uniquely special about Erle’s voice and style. It’s no wonder he was once voted #1 male singer in his former home of Australia. In addition, I have listened to several of the bands songs spanning much of their career and have come to appreciate each musician's evolving talent and blossoming creativity. There’s no where to go but up with these folks. Best of luck and good job Mootagu!

  • Songs of love, encouragement and a bridge to the gap between generations
    author: Joe and Jan from Brooklyn, New York

    The Montague's put their hearts and souls into this CD. This music is unique and not an imitation of anyone else. Listen to the songs of love, encouragement, and reconnect with your inner self.

    author: Samuel Beatty

    The Moontagu Band i got to hear years ago in Australia when the children were in there early teens along with there father Erle they were jamming away.it was soothing and moving and to see and hear them now is assume!!!!!there music holds the key to what up coming musicians should be playing not so much the Moontagu style but the passion that goes into making music,we as humans have forgot the love of music and making music that sends out the vibration of love,i believe the Moontagu band brings us back to that earthy feeling of music,one should stay true to there roots and that's just what the Moontagu band does. thank you for your sound hoprfully other people will appreciate your music as much as myself. thanks Samuel Beatty

  • Great from start to finish, love every song
    author: John Larmen

    I've Been listening to this CD for over a month now and every time I listen to it I here something that I missed the first time, there are so many great solos and melodies in it that you keep coming back for more, and then there's the moving lyrics too. Great stuff

  • Brilliant!!! Refreshingly original band!
    author: Chris Davies

    Great to hear a band doing their own thing and doing it so well! My favourite track - Didg, with that intro! Cool original lyrics - great music. Will look out for them on MTV and can't wait to hear them live.

  • excellent cd full of original well written music for easy listening
    author: gaynor annes vaughan

    This band continues to please, with its well written lyrics, gentle music and easy listening playing style. They have a wide range of music, to suit all types of people, and all the band members work together, in rythmic harmony to produce some really special music.

  • Great to hear a refreshing sound
    author: Brian Udall

    The refreshing sound of this great band gives me such pleasure. The lyrics and the dulcet tones of Earle and his daughter Kathleen are so easy on the ear. What a great album.

  • written in stone-not be forgotten
    author: gunther vanwesemael

    Let it "forever" be "written in stone":pleasant,accessible and relaxing music where melody rules.

  • author: Alakso

    What an AWESOME CD! Moontagu's "Written In Stone" is for the true lover of the Blues/Rock genre. The lyrics are haunting and the Guitar work is inspiring. One can tell how the whole band plays from their Heart and Soul. This is a MUST buy CD for all of us who love GREAT Tunes. Great job and well done. alakso

  • This CD has great sounds and is a sure credit to the music business
    author: Colin & Mitzi Orr

    Known Erle for many years now associated with his mastery of Taiji, his new CD album is also a master piece showing his versatility in the music World. His sounds are a sure credit to the music business. The backing solos are especially great with traditional vocals by a well oiled team. It’s a pleasure to hear music with a soul that soothes and relaxes.

  • Well crafted, intelligent and heartfelt: excellent.
    author: The Grifster - independent critic

    This offering from Moontagu is very good indeed. The writing is intelligent and packed with feeling. The band are very tight performers both individually and as a team. If I could think of an appropriate metaphor for this well-crafted piece, it would be of a brilliant sunrise coming over the horizon on one of those rare bright and crispy-clear winter mornings, full of energy and significance and leaving one inspired for the day ahead. 5 well-deserved stars. Well done.

    There is a mood of freedom - like looking over the relaxing range of hill side country or over the sea at sundown - everything comes along just natural: vocals, melodies, rythm... It'S JUST GREAT

    I love this CD, specially Forever song, although all CD is great. In these modern times it is good to know there are still people playing good music, full of power, heart and sensivity.

  • Great Blues & Rock from an unpretentious band that can actually play music!
    author: Jerry Shaw

    There is a wide range of sounds from very rocky to solo vocals in the blues/ rock genre which should find a home in many collections.

  • Real music real people real musicians
