"Very interesting, varied and virtuosic. I'm impressed by the different colours and textures you gave to the guitar."
- Catherine-André Martel, M.Mus.
"Masterful. It’s like a train had sex with music, and it’s so intricate and spiritual and cathartic and determined. It’s an electric octopus. It’s a blues sky atop a jazz wonderland. The most epic pineapple cutting soundtrack I’ve ever had."
- Adam MacKay-Smith
"Magma Whelm is my new favourite song! I can't wait for the whole album to come out. You are so diverse... who ARE you and what planet did you come from?!"
- Judy Petersen
"REALLY good! Great production, huge rhythm tones, really fluid lead tone, killer bass & drums, and your writing & playing are excellent as always. Huge diversity from one song to the next, it's all over the place and I think it's righteous. I spun it twice tonight and was fairly blown away."
- Max Taylor
"It's nuts! Totally reminds me of Ron Jarzombek."
- David de Gaulle
