"What self-respecting rocker could not fall in love with this album? Thoroughly inspired by the classiest of classic (mostly British) rock, with a big, brilliant sound, lyrics that catch your ear, and songs that stick, TheErthMoovsAroundTheSun should explode like a supernova across the cluttered galaxy of rock revivalists. And here's the reason: as beholden as Terry Sullivan is to rock's glory years, he's not so blinkered as to believe that the only things worth hearing were recorded by '70s rock heroes. ....Intriguingly, Sullivan wrote these songs at the end of the '70s, but he's been reworking them ever since, until he finally reached this apotheosis. Glitter-strewn rockers, R&B rollers, synth-strewn poppers, atmospheric power ballads, punk-fired stompers, heaving blues, even country-hip-hop hybrids, Sullivan weaves all that and more into his songs, while never losing the real rock feel of the music. For those who haven't fallen in love with an album since Diamond Dogs or Sticky Fingers, for those disappointed that today's rock sounds great, but the lyrics leave much to be desired, for those who think no-one can equal their idols and that there's nothing new under the sun, think again. Believe this: one listen, and the earth will move." AMG-JoAnne Greene 4.5 Stars"

""There are records. There are albums. There are cd's.

And then there is THEERTHMOOVSAROUNDTHESUN which transcends the mundane and is poised to be THE seminal release from Terry Sullivan and perhaps the best thing to come out of the New York Music scene since the days of Patti, Johansen, and Dee Dee., With his Bowie-esque vocal style, lyrical swagger and polished production, Sullivan has compiled eleven tracks that take you from glitter glam to soulful rock anthem without a single recess or intermission. Humming along like a 1973 Road Runner with a well tuned Hemi, the hooks are clean, catchy and remind you of the days when music was an innovative escapade not a road already traveled. Unsullied by commercialism constraints, Sullivan is not afraid to weave synth, soulful ballads, and rock anthems into a daring and dazzling web that have you hitting replay immediately. With a history that most rock legends only dream of, e,g, appearances on MTV, and in venues such as CBGB's and Max's Kansas City, Sullivan has shared the stage with everyone from the Replacements to John Cale and been influenced by the likes of Hanoi Rocks and Johnny Thunders. Now it is his turn to inspire others. Stand out tracks include "Power World", "Lorelei", "Lamplight" and "A Party". The latter is rather apropos, because THEERTHMOOVSAROUNDTHESUN is just that- the party you've been waiting for and the invitation just arrived. In short, this release will race to the top of your cd collection with its license to groove- save the seatbelts, enjoy the ride." 5.0 Stars
