Released on his own label "CSAM Records", The 35 minute CD features 9 songs all penned by RR. 4 years in the making, this recording contains some of Reich's finest work to date.

Also featured on the cd are the talents of Phil Bloom (drums and percussion) , Theresa Cifali (back up vocals), Nellie Ramos (back up vocals on "Pieces"), Bruce Algera (Pedal steel guitar on "Unpatiently"), and John Campagna (flute on "Unpatiently").

In The Year 2008 Somewhere deep in cyberspace a musical ecotone was formed. This was due to the over population of bands that tried to fit into narrow genres such as goth, emo, metal, or indie rock. This has created a major refugee crisis consisting of musicians and fans who exist outside of a predetermined cookie cutter category.Thus the refugees are forced to enjoy music without a fashion trend, target audience or even a B.S. backstory. UTTER TRAGEDY!
Where can these Ecotone Refugees be found?
Deep in Brooklyn in their hideout above a bar, rocking out or performing live at various locations.
What should u do if you're lost in this ecotone?

Ecotone Refugees is:
Johnny Young - vocals, guitar, keys
David Weise - vocals, bass
Michael Galante - drums

One part Stoner Rock, a Bit of Doom Metal, Electronica for Ambience and enough hooks to catch a school of fish.
STEWART FRANCKE ALIVE AND UNPLUGGED AT THE ARK
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Live acoustic album to be released through Burnside Distribution on January 20, 2009.
Detroit— Stewart Francke, one of Michigan’s favorite sons, will release Stewart Francke Alive and Unplugged at The Ark, his tenth album, in November. Recorded in August 2003, the song lineup will feature nine of Francke’s hits done in a soulful, acoustic style, including “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and “Upon Seeing Simone.”
The new album follows 2006's Motor City Serenade, released by London’s Zane Records. A live concert sponsored by 94.7 WCSX on November 8 at the Village Players Theater in Birmingham will celebrate the release of the record. The concert will begin at 8pm; tickets are available at the VP box office or at www.stewartfrancke.com
Stewart Francke Live and Unplugged at The Ark features several of Detroit’s finest musicians, including guitarist Robert Tye, pianist Christopher Plansker, and vocalists Barbara Payton and Jeanne Staels. The Regular Boys Horn Section is also featured on a couple songs. The night was recorded by Detroit veteran engineer Roscoe White and mixed by Jim Kissling at Tempermill.
Francke is nearly finished with a new studio album as well, to be released in the Spring of 2009. “I’d actually forgotten about the live recording...I found the rough mixes (of this live stuff) while I was writing and recording all these new things,” Francke says. “And the audience that night in Ann Arbor was off the hook, so there’s a lot of humor, a lot of joy–and a ton of energy–even though the presentation was not with the big, rockin’ band. I was struck by how well the band at that time addressed the subtleties of the songs and gave the lyrics room. So I really thought fans of my music would love these interpretations of songs they already know and hopefully love.”
Track Listing:
American Twilights
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
For Want Of A Nail
The Judas Kiss
Peace Like A River
House Of Lights
Upon Seeing Simone
Let’s Get It On
