"A psychedelic album which is full energy! Superb musicianship from the off, keys and lead guitar continually interchanging. The drums and bass carve out the tight grooves throughout the album. Love the organ lead on the title track and the lead guitar is soooo psychedelic!"  Reply

"Wonderful album! Definitely one of my favorite electronic albums. I consider it one of my top 100 as well. It's trippy, it's chill, it's upbeat and peaceful all at once."  Reply
