| "It doesn't always follow that putting
four musicians of this calibre into the studio will result in a successful
album. On this occasion however it does - and how." [Frets Magazine] |
| "...free, high and inspired energetic
originals but not forgetting the melody. It's progressive (but not so far-out you can't follow) with a driving beat and space for all to solo" [The Noosa Entertainer] |
| "Other than the excellent playing,
which one takes for granted in this musical form, two things save them -
the astute use of space, and their groove-consciousness (...) through the
whole Hunter pumps his extraordinary virtuosity, laying back for a thoughtful
solo on 'Dragon Fly'." [John Shand - Australian Jazz & Blues Magazine] |
