Unique, highly imaginative, wide range of sounds & moods, entertaining!

A great album! Each track is unique and compelling. I especially like Tree Trumps, Ion Propulsion and Ajar. The music varies from bluesy, to dark and moody, to lighthearted, and they create combinations of sounds I don't think anyone else has made before.

Do not adjust your CD players, this is odd stuff emminating from your speakers. Odd, but interesting, catchy and free-flowing rock, blues, jazz, bluegrass, folk and world fusion music led by the small but stately jaw harp.

It is apparent that the guys had a great time recording this album and jamming with eachother. Want proof? Alright, how about the animal noises on the live "dogfrogcatfish", or the delicate mandolin and mouthbow work on "Celtic D Drone"? The plucky pops of a mason jar on "Ajar", the psycho-world blues funk of "Shadows on the Ceiling', or the solo, jaw harp lava fall "Tree Trumps"? Does that satisfy your appitite for cool, refreshing new music? I thought so.
