Background:

First of all, I paid $60 for this album; I had it shipped from California to Massachusetts, and that was when I was about 13 and broke.

I got it when I met Greg when he came to Berklee College of Music which you can read more about at My Run-Ins With The Cars.

Musician Magazine Review, August 1983:

"This isn't as ambitious as Cars-mate Ric Ocasek's solo outing, which is perhaps why it's ultimately more satisfying. Greg Hawkes has kept his musical perspective nice and tidy- it's tuneful, mostly instrumental synth-minimalism, not unlike Kraftwerk with impressionistic overtones- so that the energy goes into details of color and texture that make all the difference. Niagara Falls is truly a record that sounds better with each successive play."
