Press Reviews PitchWeekly Feb98: Thoughtful lyrics Tomas's proficiency on several instruments makes this first effort by the longtime writing team a worthy buy. (or something like that).Review by Spectre of "Katrina" on Trax in Space: The percussion and guitar work together very nicely. The bass ties everything together neatly. This song is a must get! Very creative, something I only really heard in a MOD file, but much better sounding :)This song leaves me the impression of being very complete. This song is a must download! Download this now! :)
