RARE IMPORT ITEM -
EIGHT-PANEL DIGIPAK / ITALIAN QUALITY DESIGN
--------------

"Sound of Village offers a stepping stone for one's imagination and is certainly one of the year's finest offerings! Highly recommended."
--ALL ABOUT JAZZ

"The intuitive communication between the two is extraordinary, whether on dense and brooding pieces like "Ultimatum," pastoral sketches like "Dandelion," "Season's Greetings," and "Designs and Shapes," or hip, rhythmically driving episodes like "Tom's Favorite Treats." The shimmering sound of the Rhodes on "The Center of the Universe" and "Berceuse 1823" at times seems to reference both minimalism and electronica. "Desert Urbanism" and "Präludium und Variationen" feature harpsichord with berimbau and clay flute respectively, resulting in a bold yet entirely uncontrived meeting of East and West."
--ALL MUSIC GUIDE

"Det lyriskt stämningsfulla färgar helhetsintrycket - alltså det rakt motsatta till vad som drog publikmassorna på [Stockholms] jazzfestival, nämligen den larmande utlevelsemusiken.
Men intensiteteten finns lika mycket i det finstämda, kanske rentav med en låga som brinner starkare i och med en sparsam energiladdning."
-- SVENSKA DAGBLADET (5 stjärnor)
