"Bassist Mike Georgin... funky, earthy grooves"
Bass Player
"Mike Georgin has a nice tone and is a well-rounded musician capable of wearing all of the hats (and sometimes be willing to throw them out the window) necessary to play music with this level of freedom."
Bass Frontiers
“On the album's nine tracks, Georgin creates vivid, soulful sonic images that are often spacious and atmospheric, while subtly infusing layers of intricate sounds. All in all, a surprising and refreshing entry into the local music discography circa 1999.”
