| Recorded 2000 - 2002, and picking up from its predecessor "Winter pilgrim arriving" in using mainly tonal compositions, although overall it has a jazzier feel than the earlier recording. "Martin Archer continues to record fascinating, endearing music and he does it outside any and all trends (avant-gardist or otherwise). He's a thinking listener's guilty pleasure." - Francois Couture, All-Music Guide
"It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up....inventive.....uncluttered .....sublime....a restrained floating beauty.....worth repeated listenings" - Paul Donnelly, Stride
"This release....affords the listener many pleasurable new paradigms for thinking and feeling via the medium of juxtaposed sound....I marvel at the composer's taste and ingenuity....unsettlingly beautiful....Bartholomew's guitar ejaculates death like a flamethrower....gorgeous morbidity...it's really, really entertaining" - Jonathan Heller, Sound Projector |
