The project won numerous awards since it was released .... including MusesMuse.com's 'Best Instrumental CD of the Year', as well as 'Best Instrumental Song of the Year' for the track 'Mykonos At Midnight'.

Eric def set his sites on creating a new style of music ... one that captures the power and beauty of all of the music he has loved over his life. The music is, at the same time, beautiful and comforting ... yet intriguing and provoking ... very much it's own thing. Most fans and critics comment that they've never heard anything quite like it ... a blend of very diverse influences ... that works so well together. One 17 year old Myspace fan said '... your music is revolutionary' ... just what Eric is shooting for! While not intended to be a political statement, one can't help but notice how extraordinarily well the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian and pure American Pop R&B strains of music blend so well together. In a world so shattered by conflict, Eric's music is a message about the unity of mankind and the universal language of music.
