“' .. A subtle, flowing and ultimately very enjoyable effort .. It takes a couple of poems/songs to get used to their particular style but then you realise that the subtlety is a mark of their respect for the lyrics .. music is used cleverly to accentuate and interpret .. A fine work with standout pieces being Ozymandias and As I Walked Out One Evening..'”
