“A Tie for Free” is an extremely promising album which shows an astonishing mastery for a first album.
Franck Zeisel of popnews.com
"It's high art and music hall, pop and sarcasm. How does he pack so much stuff into a track without losing it? We've no idea, but it's quite simply brilliant. What fun!"
Gordon Bell, reviewer at Ripping Tracks and producer of Gordon Bell
"Richard Kapp is quite assertive even though he is grounded in David Bowie's electronic influences. Yet, his contributions with Sitting On My Hands and Life Means are attempts by this Austrian songwriter to project a different slant to this genre, which by and large, left its mark on the likes of diverse post-punk European musicians like Philip Boa and Die Krupps."
EM of Sunday Times Of Malta
"It doesn't matter which of Richard's songs you chose to listen to (the problem is chosing of course)
they all give you amazing value from a songwriting perspective. Don't try to describe these songs or analyse them,
don't try to say who you think he sounds like, or think of other songs that these remind you of. When you have the
elusive "IT" all you can do is sing about it and this guy has "IT" and gives it to us time and again. If only more
songwriters had this natural talent for melodic art the music world would be a more interesting place"
Jilliane Wright, 2007 at IACMusic
"Richard occupies some strange exotic land between the witty whimsicality of The Divine Comedy, the sophisticated musical playfulness of Van Dyke Parkes or early 10cc and the campness of Noel Coward. Its rare to find a keyboard/synth based album that is so warm and human in vibe and spirit,but Richard genuinelly pulls it off...This is a CD brimming with musical and lyrical inventivness,quirks and unexpected delightful twists and turns. [...]..Lovely.. "
Steve Ison, musician and reviewer at IAC
"Richard has an unnerving ability to take you to places that are both warm and fuzzy and scuzzy and sleazy. Like a debonair charmer with a whiplash smile he soothes you, yet underneath their lies an undefined danger."
Mark Spencer, musician and editor at Planet of Sound
