Reviews: " twisted and ambitious...intricate compositions that weave Middle Eastern, oriental and classical elements with jazz...deeply layered with unusual combinations of percussive elements creating a pleasant, almost hypnotic effect...playful, unpretentious music with serious undertones...melodic, soothing and comfortably odd..." - the Every Other Weekly "...enough international genres to warrant the CD's inclusion in a world music course..." -the Bellingham Herald
