Press Reviews Maitreya makes no bones about the origins of these twelve deliciously spacey transmissions... obviously, they come directly From the Mothership. I've not heard such literally stellar recordings in some time... these percussion-free pieces are perfect soundtracks for deep space explorations, even if only through the constellations of your mind... AmbiEntrance - April '00...a scintillating mix of vast sonic atmospheres coupled with a deep introspective journey of epic sound exploration. Overall I found this album a very interesting proposition, not at all dark and foreboding, but a light filled album with a mysterious haunting atmosphere that remained with me after the album had long finished.Sequences Magazine - February '00
