From Adion Magazine, Winter 1996

by Alan Freeman

I tend to generally associate elaborate or crazy CD packages with the more indie type industrial or sound constrivist types, you know: like Zoviet France, The Hafler Trio, the Staalplaat label, and such like. This has a weird cardboard and paper creation with the CD held in by string, totally mad! Yet, despite being music that is ethereal and strange, it's much more a new-age product, though not at all tacky or cliched like most of what we get these days. Centred on synths and flutes, with occasional other instruments, it's really somewhere betwixt Steve and Linda Hillman's Arabic fantasies, and the rough genre occupied by the likes of Robert Rich through to O Yiki Conjugate. Marion loves reverb on her flute, and plays it in a most flowery manner, wistful, with not an air of sweetness, and the accompanying textures are rich and full, and the whole is quite calming and entrancing. Resonance does little to astound the listener, though I imagine it's not supposed to!
