The mention reads:
(page 36, Speaking of "The Liberty Bell", Michael Molenda editor in chief says)
"A lot of guitarists claim to be "orchestral" players, and the result is often dreadful to my ears, but Sindel is cagey enough to be both hilarious and enjoyable.

DAN SINDEL'S UNIQUE TAKE ON SOUSA
It's not every day that you can say “electric guitar” and “John Philip Sousa” in the same breath, but the music of the March King has helped pave the way to national recognition for L.A. guitarist Dan Sindel.

The disc also features Sindel's “symphonic guitar” take on three excerpts from Handel's Messiah. The guitarist plans to release a full-CD version of Marching In later this year. Read More

Dan Sindel delivers an incredible array of The March King’s compositions, each showcasing his unique talent for instrumental epics: quirky and lovable enough to clutch even the most apathetic listener’s attention, Sindel is a welcome innovation in the Shrek-eared modern music industry.
Sound:
John Philip Sousa, the March King, is buried at the Congressional Cemetery in Washington DC. His legacy has been celebrated since his death in 1932-perhaps most famously through Monty Python’s use of The Liberty Bell during the credits of Monty Python and the Flying Circus. Dan Sindel is next in line to deliver his take on The March King, but this time, Sousa has been immortalized through the use of myriads of guitar-layered tracks. Read More
