Christopher K. G. Hagadone dishes out some original electronica music on his newest EP, titled “Mysteriously In Love”. The album is comprised of European-sounding dance beats with various rapping/vocals layered on top, making for a very interesting album. - -Shaun H. and the RadioIndy Reviewer Team
"Hagadone melds together interesting patches in track, "The Piano". There is a thin piano sound there, but the most compelling sounds are the whistle-like chord patches at the start. We wonder if he shaped that sound himself." - -earBuzz
"“Today Is Yesterday Was” is an entertaining CD of mainly instrumental keyboard/synthesizer based songs from a talented musician, Christopher K. G. Hagadone. The keyboard sounds/effects on the CD are very creative. Christopher mixes in rap-style syncopated spoken vocals to further convey his generally uplifting message." - -RadioIndy.com Staff
Chris Hagadone covers a lot of ground with A New Horizon. The intro track; "A Cloudy Morning", kicks the record off with deep, wispy electronic pads and a clicky drum-n-bass groove. He exhibits his keyboard/piano chops on "Concourses of Angels", while to dropping some hip hop flavored beats and lyrics in "Ethereal Peace." Instantly we get a wide assortment of musical tastes from Hagadone, jumping from new age infused sounds to classical, and then hip hop. - -earBuzz

He enjoys composing music in various genres and loves the creative process. He has planned to execute his dreams to make them a reality, while his is still creating his future. - Linda Bennet
"I am Born Free" begins with outdoor sound effects and opens with a vocal that reminds us of the stereo delay settings in Prince's Purple Rain. The slow groove is infectious as the 1, 5, 4, 6 progression provides a dramatic backdrop to his words while his chorus, 'i am born free' follows the progression exactly, simply, and memorably. It's our favorite of his tunes. - -earBuzz
Christopher K. G. Hagadone's instrumental new/age spiritual music moves through several genre tastes in his 11-track record, "Choices of Freedom". From R&B to delicate instrumental newage - to what sounds like instrumental Gregorian chant in tracks like "Keep it Up", his compositional work is relaxing and musical. - -earBuzz
He branches into a pop instrumental electronic vibe in "Shooting Star" and we are reminded a bit of the theme from Chariot's of Fire. The throwback is a nice reminiscent throwback into an era when instrumentals routinely broke the top 10 in American music. - -earBuzz
