Press Reviews Henry Schneider, Gibraltar: Joe, an accomplished keyboardist, uses his electronic arsenal to compose a varied collection of excellent jazz influenced music. ... Joe has a good sense for the economy of sound and tight musical arrangements. There are even some beautiful ambient pieces interspersed, especially the title track. All in all a fine debut CD for those of you who like laid back, low energy jazz fusion. Matt Howarth, Savage Henry: Delicate electronic melodies with a hint of hidden power, much in the vein of Kitaro's softer music. It may sound like crystalline keyboards and shuddering electronics and atmospheric flute - but it's all electronically generated on an Ensoniq. The trick is what McMahon does with these sounds, constructing a fairly equal balance of uptempo synthi stomps and arctic snowdrift ambience with a shot of lounge jazz on this album.
