there is a brilliant simplicity that reminds us at times (if one needed to make
comparisons with the area of pop music) of the communicative urgence of Violent
Femmes or certain strongly lyrical pages of the Cocteau Twins..." Tim
Tam (Italy) 1991

better than new... the music is more than the sum of its components... oblique,
unexpected, witty... each musician interested in what the other players
produced that night.” TAZ Bremen (Germany) 1990

predate the current vogue for jazz and roots music. What they offered was a
glorious melange of traditional and contemporary..." Glasgow Herald
