Soul Faction is the mesmerizing synergy of Robert Wells and Bobby Queen. These two musicians will make your jaw drop as you listen to each deeply moving song on their debut album "Knew You Then". Truly defining alternative music, Soul Faction infuses pop, rock, and r&b for a totally inspiring sound. Robert Wells is the lead singer, plays guitar, piano/keys, and sings all background vocals on the album. Bobby Queen plays guitar, bass, drums, and is the drum sequencing maestro.

Customer Reviews:
Moravian songs, via Janacek, Godar, Bittova and Skampa.......2006-05-09
This is a unique recording of Janacek's transcriptions of Moravian folk songs. Originally for piano and voice, they have been transcribed by Slovak composer Vladimir Godar for string quartet and (occasionally) three-voice male chorus. Here they are performed by renowned Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova, accompanied by the Skampa Quartet and chorus. The effect is not so much of classical liede, but of authentic eastern European "popular" songs - the sonority of the string quartet adds to this in no small part. Janacek would be proud.
Skampa Quartet is great - the singer... yikes.......2005-07-28
I honestly did not know what I was getting myself into when I bought this CD. I love Janacek, I love folk songs... how could I go wrong? Iva Bittova! I was concerned that she would have a 50yr old woobly voice, but instead what exists is a thin VERY nasal tone... perhaps she should be singing traditional Bulgarian music! The voice is expressive, just ugly.
The recording quality is not very good, either. On many of the tracks, Iva seems to be muffled and in the background of the recording.
Really - dont waste your time and money, unless you really would just like to have a recording of over 50 Janacek songs.

Simply Refreshing.......2003-10-14
If you are looking for something to relax and chill to, the soothing music will be quite a refreshing contrast to music that seems to be hitting the top of the charts (heavy rap, etc).
Buy this CD, you won't regret it!
