RECOLLECTION
From acoustic to worship to post punk, retro, and electronica too…in churches and clubs and festivals and performance centers, writing for myself and others, I've been amazed by the wide variety of artistic expression I've been allowed to experience beyond the spoken word messages I'm best known for...
I hope the songs—these loopy, dance-pop-rock-ballad-retro-electro tracks chosen on this compilation will indeed speak Light and Love to your soul! Read more here. Purchase online here.

Communicate Reviews
"...Sy Rogers is obviously an exceptional talent with an amazing testimony...This
album is a must for all...This man communicates!"
- Alan Chesters, Crossrhythms Magazine (Issue No.60, Dec. 2000
/ Jan. 2001 London UK)
"Bowie, Devo and Kraftwerk spring to mind...'Communicate' is one not
to miss...Not only is he a passionate and witty speaker, but also a gifted
songwriter...the cover version of Kim Carnes' Bette Davis Eyes is worth the
price of admission alone...4 out of 5 stars!"
- Max Vole, The Street (July 2000)
"For the tired, worn out, thirsty traveller, Sy Rogers' soul-searching
ballad "Oasis" is just what the doctor ordered."

www.steiger.org or www.pleitegeier.sagehost.de
"Sy's role as vocalist-performer in the glam-rock, post-punk industrial operetta "Primordial" is captured on CD. Recorded in Germany and New Zealand during and after the four continent world tour, during Sy's involvement with the Euro-evangelistic band, 'No Longer Music.'
Primordial Reviews
"Techno. Industrial. Noise. Glam. NLM reinvents itself yet again with
another compelling collection of songs birthed in the nightclubs of Europe,
Asia and the U.S."
- Steve Knight (Internet Editor, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association)
album:
METROPOLIS
group: Sy Rogers
Sy's debut album of nine original songs was released internationally in 1996 on the singaporean label MTX. Though just a humble studio album for the local market, Metropolis was eventually distributed in Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Based loosely on the 1926 Fritz Lang cult film of the same name, Metropolis is a satirically dark view of society, dressed in a retro Asian dance pop style.
Metropolis Reviews
"A great blend of danceble numbers and pop ballads. Very refreshing both
in content & style"
- Greg Crawshaw Sydney Australia DJ for On Being Magazine
"Catchy. Inventive. An intriguing album, classily produced and packaged."
- Tony Cummings CrossRhythms Magazine, London
"Makes for great bopping with dark insightful commentary to stir the mind
and conscience."
- Teens Magazine
"His album sizzles with images and lifestyles of the 90's-sex, consumerism,
urban anxiety"
- The New Paper
