Press Reviews Eiken is happiest laying smooth jazz guitar solos atop gentle acoustic backing and Worldbeat-infused drum tracks. But he can tear it up when he wants, as evidenced by a thrilling rock number ("Wicked Thing") in which he plays so fast, he practically severs his fingers off. - Mike M. (Listen.com - January, 2000)
