Press Reviews "The Big Picture rocks, reels, cajoles and swirls;instruments crash and burn, intertwine and convulse, live and die. Cross has found the missing link between the reticent decadence of popand the ferocious vitality of progressive rock. With his hyperactive band behind him, the deft violinist pushes the edge of the envelope with arrangements of stunning prowess and sprawling momentum...." Darren Bergstein (IE magazine USA)
