Revew by Jonas Sturas on "Sounds of Heaven":
"The combination of lead vocals, choir and various digital musical instruments used in 'The Sounds of Heaven' takes you on a sound journey through the Heavenly Realm. As Heaven itself is indescribable so is this album. It is original, fresh and hard to categorize. No 'Labels' come to mind that compare to this work. It is a pure joy and pleasure for me when 1istening, especially at bedtime. The melodies are relaxing and soothing, and next morning its lovely sounds and prayerful, powerful, words remain with me. During the day many of the melodies run through my mind as a gentle, peaceful form of prayer and as a reminder of this other world to which all souls aspire." Jonas Sturas KOQP, Pasadena, California

From Review of "Dance for Padre Pio" album from From Outer Shell Music Magazine, Pinellas Park, Florida:
Have received your 'Dance For Pade Pio', and I DEFINITELY agree with your promo write-up that it is one of the best Christian/Pop Rock albums ever made !! Everything about it is superb; the Iyrics, instrumentation, and production. I found it a GREAT pleasure to listen to ! As space allows in Outer Shell, I will be doing a review of it in a future issue of Outer Shell. More importantlyl I will be putting together, in the next couple weeks, a write-in interview for you to fill out, and sending it to you to return to me.

Biography:

Rafael Brom was born in Prague (formerly Czechoslovakia, but now called the Czech Republic) on August 13, 1952. He was born into a musical family. His mother was a popular professional singer, pianist, composer, and dancer. His father was an outstanding piano player and composer and grandfather was considered a musical virtuoso.

In 1963, Rafael emigrated to Sarajevo. While in Sarajevo, Rafael studied several levels of Graphics Arts and Design, Communication Arts, and Fine Arts. To see Rafael's artwork visit: Rafael's Art Gallery. He was a student of several well-known Academy professors and international graphic artists. One such professor was Mersad Berber. After completing his education, Rafael worked full-time for an energy company as a graphics designer. He did this to support his mother and brother.

With the help of his father, Libor, and Senator Armstrong, Rafael emigrated to the United States in 1979. Upon arriving in the United States, Rafael worked for several energy companies as a graphics illustrator. He dedicated his free time to music, painting, illustrations and helping his father publishing books.

Rafael moved to Los Angeles, California in 1984. While there, he established his own record label, Cosmotone Records. He also started Publishing Company Cosmotone Music (ASCAP) and a distribution company, Center for the Queen of Peace. He then released 3 more albums, 'Padre Pio' (Lord Hamilton) This recording is now included on 'Dance for Padre Pio', 'Peace of Heart', and 'The Sounds of Heaven'. In Los Angeles, Rafael was involved in numerous charitable activities with his friends of Medjugorje, Marian and Pro-Life Movements, and Padre Pio Prayer Groups and Priests. He opened two Catholic bookstores and for seven years organized big screen presentations on Medjugorje and other Marian Apparitions in Pasadena, California. These influenced the lives of countless people.

On Padre Pio's birthday, May 25th, 1988, Rafael became a U.S. citizen in a touching naturalization ceremony in Los Angeles, California. In 1992, he moved to Sugar Land, Texas, where he released 7 more albums. They were 'Dance for Padre Pio' (which contained his first two 12" vinyl albums), 'True Measure of Love', 'Music for Peace of Mind', 'The Christmas Songs', and 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Upon the request of Hollywood film director Kurt James Stefka, Rafael composed and performed an original score for Kurt's short TV movie, 'Crossroads of the World'.

While living in Sugar Land, Rafael developed and designed a new distribution and publishing company, Marianland.com. This is now the largest Roman Catholic Marian Pro-Life resource web site on the Internet. This company distributes and publishes some of the world's finest Catholic and Christian videos, books, music, and church supplies.

Rafael came up with the idea for a Catholic theme park in 1984. Marianland was soon built in the United States. Marianland.com is also a licensed representative of award-winning British film director, J. Paddy Nolan. They have distributed Nolan's documentary videos on Padre Pio, Sr. Faustina, and Medjugorje.

The year 2000 saw all of Rafael's albums remastered for CD duplication and mp3 release. This was done by music and sound guru, Colin Kennedy, of Tortuga Music in Glendale, California. Rafael has since released two new albums, 'Angelophany' and 'All My Love To You, Jesus'. Rafael released his 'Rafael Brom Unplugged' DVD in 2004. In 2005, Rafael moved to League City, Texas, where he is continuing his ministries. In 2007, Rafael released hit record album "Life is Good, Enjoy It While You Can". Rafael's hobbies include tennis, sailing, soccer, movies, books, paintings, arts, and music.

    Review of "Angelophany" by John Bockelman Folks: Yesterday, Rafael Brom came in and handed me a copy of his latest album, "Angelophany". I'd known for some time that he was working on the finishing touches on it. I hadn't heard any new music from Rafael in a couple of years; I figured he was busy with so many other things... I thought his musical career had taken a back seat to all these endeavors. So when he handed me the new CD, I was delighted to see that he was still keeping his hand in the flow of things. I was working on a project that was occupying a lot of my attention at the time, so I thought I would enjoy having some new music going while I worked on this task. I put the CD in my G-4 and started playing it in iTunes, and I was immediately stopped dead in my tracks. I was instantly awakened to a new and beautiful world. A reality and an existence that is the product of someone with a very deep and pure soul. It is very difficult for someone with a worldly and reactionary attitude like I posess most of the time to really understand. But I did understand, from the first note of this wonderful CD. It hit me where I live, full-force. It is the kind of music that you can hear deep in your heart; the kind of music that conquers all human denial, the kind of music that opens the doors to your soul. Rafael caught the spark with this album. It has 12 songs, and it is more than enough to change the life of someone who listens to it with an open channel of spirituality. Aside from the interactive features that this music is full of, it makes a complete spiritual revelatory statement by Rafael Brom. Most eloquently and with great care and attention to detail. I have never experienced a more accurate and multi- dimensional witness of faith than what I hear on "Angelophany" by Rafael Brom. Rafael collaborated with Colin Kennedy of Tortuga Music in Los Angeles on some of the album, and Colin's added touches of professionalism and taste added an extremely polished and sparkling sound to the production. It sounded great in iTunes. It also sounded great on my CD player at home. The songs themselves are like scripts of the future history of planet earth, handed compassionately to us with no strings attached. Just let it sink in. The philosophical and ethical issues are blended into an exotic and flowing series of melodies, chants, beats, poetry and overall wall-of-sound that in its entirety worships God and has a great time doing it. The 12 songs feature an extremely wide array of styles, tempos and songwriting that also caught me by surprize and held my attention to the fascinating structures and layers that come out of each song. I was particularly impressed by the European rock styles represented here that were such a great part of Rafael's life before he escaped from Communist-ruled Yugoslavia in the early seventies. Those sounds invoked images in my mind of his previous life and the environment that he grew up in before he made his run to freedom. Incredibly well done. It's the kind of music I can put on and go about my activities and it's there, shedding considerable light on my life while it plays. I hummed the tunes and whistled along with them and felt a quiet inner peace as the CD played. There are serious, deep moments, humorous songs, some Shakespearian lyrics, pop songs, rock and roll, jazz, Gregorian-influenced chants, baroque-styled refrains, and lots of atmosphere and amazing creative inspiration throughout the whole trip. This is Johnny B, giving a five-star-double-plus rating to "Angelophany" by Rafael Brom. It is not only a "Christian" album, it is one of the best albums I've heard by anybody in any style, ever. I guarantee you, if you're looking for a set of music that you can feel as well as hear, this album is for you. If you're into having some intelligence added to good music that you can tap your foot to, this album is for you. If you're a spiritual traveler, searching for the door handle to the sounds you hear in your soul, this album's for you. I can only say that it impacted my life deeper than I could have ever expected it to. Heck, I just feel lucky to know the guy. This isn't the kind of guy you'd meet every day. And the music that he made here is proof enough of that for me. "Angelophany" is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Somehow in his complicated and busy life, Rafael Brom created a genuine masterpiece on the run. Here it is. I sure am glad he stopped by my office with that CD yesterday. Thanks be to God. Love to all. John Bockelman
