Press Reviews "...the contrast of sounds - from stark, lucid and austere like planets hovering on a winter horizon, to swirling and immersive like a warm bath - is one of the most effective and involving elements. There is definite structure to Essence - a premeditated, almost pedantic feel, but it somehow manages to feel unencumbered, unrushed and unframed.....a hugely relaxing work" KEH - Monsoon Audio.
