Album Description
Movement and progression, transportation and transformation - this is the basis for this disc. Beneath infectious grooves, thick harmonies and melodic hooks, the album boasts topics ranging from the down low phenomenon ("Mr. Mistress"), gender identity ("Transport Me"), gay relationships ("Good Relationship)", spirituality and forgiveness ("I Can Forgive You,"), crystal meth addiction ("Feeding The Fire") and human rights ("Human"). For the first single, the horn driven, earth wind and fire-esque retro house jam "Where The Music Takes You," Gold collaborated with Grammy Award Winning Producer Joe Hogue (of >HitPlay) and VH1's "Born To Diva" Sasha Allen to express the eternal theme of "To thine own self you can be true." Dave Koz also lends his smooth sounds on the album. Sexy, smart and soulful, the buzz has already begun that Transport Systems is a breakthrough album for this groundbreaking artist.

A Pop Masterpiece September 25, 2007
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This is an album that will change the face of pop music forever. Reminds me of when pop music still had something to say like Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation. "Where The Music Takes You" is the feel good hit of the year! And I even like his cover of "Human" better than the original. Great vocals, tight production and impeccable songwriting. Anyone that likes good soul music will love this album. And a totally cool callabo with Sax legend Dave Koz. Not a bad song on here.

This album 'transporter system' is somewhat less accessable than 'space under sun' but once you take the time to get to know it, it will really rock your world. Positive, funky, upbeat........LOVE IT !!!! Ps, did I mention that Ari Gold himself is yummi ;-)......an extra bonus. Justin Timberlake, eat your heart out !!!!

Talk about waking up with the house on fire! Ari's new music is as delicious as he is himself. Most of the tracks are filled with lots of energy and smart, catchy lyrics. I got hooked with the earlier "Space Under Sun" album and this new cd has reeled me right in.

There's a little rock, a little jazz, and a whole lot of upbeat, can't sit still, R&B/pop music. Love it!

Out gay artist with talent! March 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought Ari's latest album a few weeks ago and I have literally been playing absolutely nothing else in my vehicle since then! It's that good!

What makes this album so playable is the fact that each song has it's own genre, style and story. It's not like other albums where every song is basically the same thing, just played a little differently. Not with this one.

Also, I had to pay VERY close attention to the lyrics. I'm the type of person that just likes music for the beats and rhythms and rarely listen to the lyrics, other than the chorus line.

Then my partner of twelve years (would be husband if it were legal in our state) pointed out the lyrics, which he always does, and when I listened closely to the lyrics then the whole album just took an entirely different route and it does indeed tell a very worthwhile story of being true to yourself and not succuming to the pressures of societal norms and binary gender and sexual orientation, if that's not how you were born.

Don't get me wrong here people, if you are 100% heterosexual and you have absolutely no problems with your own gender and your own sexual orientation, then kudos to you. Not everyone on the face of this planet is born that way and we should not be holding each other down with hate and discrimination just because we are born different. Yes, I said "BORN" and not "CHOOSE". The only thing we are choosing is to be honest with ourselves and live how we were born!

Anyway, this is what I got from Ari's latest album and I sure do hope there's a lot more to come!

A True Maturity for Gold's Sound April 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Transport Systems truly showcases Gold's effort to be singer/songwriter that appeals to everyone. He's taken time on this work to refine his sound with better hooks, smarter lyrics, and slicker production. The set of songs featured here represent the concept of the album well. As a result, The tracks with the most to impart are front loaded. Transport Me, Where The Music Takes You, and Ride To Heaven show Gold at his very best. He tackles gender and sexuality, relationships, and crystal meth's effect on the gay community. He remains true to his original purpose which is to make music that sounds familar yet clever, fun and yet powerful. Some of the songs do sound just a tad over produced and predictable. However, Transport translates into a maturity that says "I'm much closter to reaching my full potential" and it shows.
