Reviews

10/01/1995 Chris Parker ,Times

'Even in the current British jazz scene, unprecedently hospitable as it is to all manner of musical styles, Julian Argüelles is something of a phenomenon. His openness to the plethora of rhythms and textures found in contemporary pop, dance and world musics marks him out.'

09/01/1995 Linton Chiswick, Time Out

'It's good to find a record that does justice to British saxophonist Julian Argüelles' extraordinary talents. Here, it has a lot to do with the sidemen: sensitive guitarist Mike Walker, American bass giant Steve Swallow and drummer Martin France. Julian plays to his lyrical, passionate and highly individual best on soprano and tenor.'

07/01/1995 Phil Johnson, Independent on Sunday

'Superbly burbling saxophone. A true star.'

06/01/1995 BBC Music Magazine

'One of the most important British jazz albums of recent years.'

05/01/1995 BBC Mixing It

'This is a superb 4-piece band. It's a good album, with some of it very delicately textured. Mike Walker's playing stands out, with some amazing sounds and harmonics. Steve Swallow's bass is extraordinary, in how it is able to move around. They play incredibly well as a group and I hope that they continue to play together.'
