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

“Haunting, hypnotizing, melodic and ... DEEP! ... I'm simultaneously moved to tears and enraged by anger ... elated yet oddly sad. Or perhaps it's the 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 many music critics, most of whom are either band relatives, employees, vendors, or tone deaf... as being one of the most melodic, prolific, and haunting bands to emerge from the post - Beatles / Dylan / Stones / Moody Blues / CSNY / Slim Whitman / Boxcar Willie / Justin Bieber musical era.”

THE POETRY CORNER

I listen close and double my dose,
I drink some more and open the Door
To Perception ...
Jimmy Mo was potent
But Derek Moment music
Is explotent...
Mind and heart are pushed
To Foment ... Thoughts

Of Musical Revolution
Could this be the Solution?
Well, at least it ain’t devolution
Son’t get hysteric about Derek
Just open the Doors, like Ray Manzarek ...
