"hand on metal immediately sets a tranquil, peaceful, spiritual scene - that Ballou wisely lets the listener take in before his trumpet rises over the hills to the east"

" the crew have attained quite the spiritual/psychedelic (delete as applicable or choose both) soulful jazz-funk state."

there is a genuine feeling of peace and contentment running through the album, something that she manages to channel to anyone in earshot with THAT voice

Jazz fans get straight over to this album, it’s like the good old, bad old days all over again.

This new LP sees him descend from the new age stratosphere for a somewhat more grounded release, his usual wispy, well meaning electronica part exchanged for the more gravity beholden autoharp, upright piano and vintage Yamaha keyboard

replaced by more of a spiritual sound tapestry woven from improvisations

let alone unite twenty nine moving parts to meditate on life, revive a golden age and celebrate the now whilst gazing into the future.
