Critic Reviews

The Wire (p.69) - "[It] could hardly be more impressive: string-propelled, moody but intensely mobile, with just two horns sitting on top of the harmonies and rhythm like some chamber jazz equivalent of one of Miles Davis's electronic groups."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "A remarkable intelligence and sensitivity is at work across the ensemble that makes for a gripping, evocative experience."
