It was during rare moments of cool sunlight that
Jeff Martin (IDAHO) was able to create his last
release 'The Lone Gunman" (Talitres, 2005) amidst
a trial by fire initiation into the corporate
world of TV scoring. But now, with a writers'
strike shutting down the industry, he is free to
pursue his true love. Half way into the completion
of the next release, he sees it fit to re-release
the now out of print The Forbidden ep /Alas
'97/'98 on one CD. These records represented an
unexpected turn from Idaho's beautifully bombastic
rocker "3 sheets to the wind" '96, paired down
from a full size band to a duo. These 2 long out
of print cd's represent a study in economy and
subtlety that still sound fresh and new today. The
last song "the sun is all there is" gives the
listener a hint of what to follow a few months
later at the millennium change with " Hearts of
Palm" which was voted one of the top five releases
of the year by French paper "Liberation" along
with Radiohead and Johnny Cash.
