Pulsing available on iTunes ***** [5 stars] - Amazon.com review Got a glimpse of his music on the national news and ordered a cd rather spontaneously - certainly no regret there - this music is original and the range is from soothing to "pulsing". I'm glad I found this artist. ***** [5 stars] - CDBaby.com review Roumain's new disk, "pulsing" merges the exploration of pure sound with rich cultural references. It has its roots in the minimalism of the New York School, and the evolving history of black popular music. It unfolds abstract sound, and wraps it onto a rich musical tradition; a stunning package materializes. The violin performance of Filter is riveting. Pulsing is for sale at all of DBR's live concerts, as well as these online retailers: CD Baby.com Amazon.com iTunes Pulsing on iTunes
