"I purchased "Suspension of Disbelief" not more than ten minutes ago... and it was a decision that wasn't difficult after hearing him perform live for about an hour. I got off the subway tonight at Dundas Square in Toronto and, while walking up the street, I was so completely gripped by the singing coming from the square, that I abandoned my rush home to see what everyone was gathering to watch. It was Lindy... and with each song, I got these incredibly intense chills down my spine. His voice, his vocals, his solo work with the acoustic guitar almost brought me to tears. Bikers, families, people on rollerblades, punks -- more and more people of various circles converged on the square as passers-by were unable to ignore his amazing sound. The only critique I would give... when he performs live, he has a very raw, smokey sound that just heightens the intensity and gives you goosebumps. The CD doesn't reflect as much of that raw, strained sound that hooks you by the heart and stops you in your tracks. If you like the raw, melodic lullaby styles of bands like Coldplay, this is *definitely* a purchase you won't regret... and even if you don't, it's a sound that's impossible NOT to feel when it sinks into the pit of your stomach... like that nervous feeling when you're ascending in a rollercoaster... or the butterflies when you're in love. I spent the entire time standing at the performance, absolutely enamored and hoping I'd be able to find his CD. As luck would have it, they were selling them on the sidelines, so I quickly found an ATM and spent my grocery money on what will surely give me some very relaxing, very mellow nights to come."

I've come Beautifully Undone

"I purchased this CD after a friend in Canada told me about it and sent me a link to listen to a few of the songs. I had actually heard "Beautifully Undone" on Degrassi but didn't make the connection until I heard it at the Orange Record Label's website. This is an unbelievably powerful CD, Lindy is a pleasantly original songwriter with amazing vocal range and his guitar work is awesome. I love every song on the CD, and the CD Rom is a great bonus feature... interviews and the video for "Witness" and other goodies on here. A must have for anyone who loves truly great music."
