A comment about Noise Research Four
Such an outstanding album it really is a class piece of work – Jeff Grainger (Dandelion Radio, 2008).

One about Rifts
A soundtrack to while away the time to as Western civilisation inevitably continues its steadily increasing rate of decay (Heathen Harvest, 2009)

One about Noise Research
The closest I’ve come to musical conversation for a long while – Andrew Hodges (Chaparral, 2010)

And another
A brilliant electro-acoustic improviser who can be seen in many incarnations around the North of England. He also finds time to run the amazing net label Electronic Musik and the Electronic Organica experimental music nights in Manchester (Cumbria Remixed, 2011)

And another
The echoes of deep space emulated in the trans-dimensional winding of strings and quarks (WTF Music, 2010)

And another
Captivating mixture of deep drones slowly changing ambiences, music concrete and well placed noise parts (Kulturterrorimus, 2011)

And yet another
Tripped out to that remix yesterday during a long car drive – so many textures – love it! (Radio Scotvoid, 2011)
