starting about David Loring's solo careers:
David Loring hasn't officially released any of his singles, but after
3 of them were heard on the hit series, Joanne of Arcadia, somehow people
that loved his songs managed to find his email address and have written
emails like the one below.
Hi Mr. Loring,
I heard some of your music on the TV show, "Joan of Arcadia".
Can you tell me where I might be able to buy your album, and also the
title(s) of any album(s) currently out? Thank you in advance for your
time!
-Chris (last name we'll keep private.)

spoken about David Loring's work as lead vocals, writer and guitarist
with The Almighty Ultrasound:
The Almighty Ultrasound-SONIC
BLOOM
Countdown/Unity Records
Grab your headphones, crank the volume, and prepare to be pummeled. This
album will overload your senses with its wall of sound production, intense
craftsmanship, and unlimited power. An excellent blend of "heavy/alternative"
rock, with a tasteful but not overwhelming supply of sampling. The
vocals are top notch, the musicianship outstanding, and I can't
say enough about the production. Absolutely killer... Lethal when cranked...
Eat this up.

The Almighty Ultrasound
Sonic Bloom
(Countdown-Ultra)
reviewed in issue #104, 3/25/96
Some more of an ever-burgeoning sound, that industrial pop thing propagated
by such varied artists as Whorgasm and God Lives Underwater.
The Almighty Ultrasound keeps the hooks simple and sweet, while cranking
the distortion and samples to near-excessive levels. A cool pushing of
the envelope, as it were.
The overall sound is constantly swirling, in a nice updating of that pop
psychedelia movement of a few years back. Instead of silly production
tricks, these folk simply pound out another level of distortion. Well,
maybe that's a silly production trick, after all.
And I still get the odd My Bloody Valentine feel, though there's a lot
more pop here than where that group left off. The Almighty Ultrasound
have a good feel for this musical movement, and even the lyrics are above
average. Hell, the slow songs don't suck, either (which is a pretty good
trick with a distortion-laden sound). Nice work.
