". . . it has a very special atmosphere of gloomy rejoicing, like a dance of Breugal peasants. . ." Roger Scruton, March 2014
". . . think of Satie's furniture music principles imbued with Stravinskian aloofness. Cardew's melodic lines are exquisitely turned, with occasional unruly climaxes or deep-integrated improvisations. . ." Philip Clark in Wire magazine, February 2013
"All the compositions are tightly executed and indubitably well-rehearsed, intelligible down to the tiniest details. The choice of positioning an electric guitar - tones ranging from bright clean to overdriven. . .- amidst the acoustic scents of a chamber ensemble might have resulted in serious damage. But Cardew is a first-class player gifted with digital facility and rational connectedness that elevate the nuances of his instrument and the album's overall resonance alike."
Massimo Ricci in Touching Extremes, October 2012.
