About "Just May it Be"
"...It's the intro that pulls me in, like a welcome hand, drawing me into a wonderful room full of this strong emotional bright uplifting piano playing, with a lovely complimenting string orchestration, all twinkling the air. The title intriques me. It could have been, 'Just may be it', but you decided to call it 'Just may it be'; I feel unconsiously, because you are refering here to the spontaneity of life, the feeling of the moment, the process, the space you just let go of and not the finality. It's a great piece Mario. It's speaks much of you... a sensitive artist living in the moment."

About "Alien Eyes"
"I have listened to the offerings from this Ponta Delgada, Azores, artist quite a bit. The tracks tend to grow on you. This piece is a bit of a rollercoaster ride such as you might go through if you thought you saw someone with alien eyes moving through a crowd - brief glimpses, strong impressions, pauses to consider the possibility. Mario is adept building a mood and this is a prime example."

About "Short-cut to Heaven"
"...It is definately a 'short cut' at 2 minutes and 17 seconds long, but what a short cut it is, a really 'symphonic' score that could fit into any big time movie soundtrack, very dramatic to the end, great stuff Mario!"

The works
"...The diversified presentation in Mario Tracks, step our senses in a rich universe of melodies rithms and textures. Like a filled painted music sheet, with aural notes of invitation. An imaginary signed card that cross our mind, showing the path to a misterious world of sounds and melodies..."

The works
"...I always like to find someway to give the artist some feedback on how to improve their music of maybe an addition that would further enhance their art but...........I sit here struggling with what to say so......I will just sit and listen to these works again and just shut my mouth."
