Press Reviews "Free flowing, meditative, seductive, chaotic, pulsating, driving, breathing, organic and full of life, this album has a precision and passion and a drive to it seldom found in ambient music. The style is unique, the sound is breathtaking, and the melodies are enchanting. String pads lull you into a peaceful contemplation of what's to come, driven by various types of hand percussion while piano and guitar interweave melodies that cascade effortlessly throughout the compositions, which rise and fall like the ocean waves, always swelling and receding like a living entity. This music is simply stunning, and simply must be heard to be appreciated." --- Andrew Miller, Noisehole Records (USA
