“DEREK MOMENT AND MOMENT7 set a new standard for the “Neo-Psychedelic Orchestral Folk-Art-Rock genre ... profoundly original yet incorporating elements of rock’s rich past."

“Haunting, hypnotizing, melodic and ... DEEP!! I'm both moved to tears and enraged by anger. And oddly relaxed and overjoyed at the same time. Or perhaps it's my Xanax... not quite sure ... "

"... Substantive while not afraid of bland superficiality. My heart was moved; my insides were stirred. Never will I be the same, nor will be my pacemaker or septic tank. Bravo, Hip-Hip Hooray, and....Neato! Five Stars. An Absolute Classic. In summary, really rather....um... Quite Pleasant!”

“DEREK MOMENT AND MOMENT7 are considered by music critics, many of whom are band relatives, employees, vendors, or tone deaf... as being one of the most melodic, prolific, and haunting bands to emerge from the post - Beatles / Bob Dylan / Beach Boys / Rolling Stones / Byrds / Moody Blues / Crosby Stills Nash & Young / Tiny Tim / Boxcar Willie musical era.”
