Comments from Mark Stephen Weitz (Original member and keyboard player of The Strawberry Alarm Clock)
shinowa’s new melodic energy-filled album release “Flowerdelic” shows just how really far shinowa has come musically since I first discovered their cover version of our record “Sit with a Guru” on You Tube back in 1999! Along with listening to 9 NEW exciting tracks of their new tunes ( I already picked out my favs!), they again decided to re-recorded a 2018 version of "Sit with a guru" which by the way, blows me away! Thank you for breathing new life into this tune! You did a spectacular job! I wish you all the best of luck being successful on your journey with the new album "Flowerdelic"! Buy it! You won't be dissapointed. Mark Stephen Weitz
