Press quote
“Sangster has composed themes for flutes by Mal Cunningham, who improvises on overdubbed tracks, against the chimes, vibes and marimbas of Sangster and Bloxom. Haunting and ethereal, the sounds encourage a trance-like state, borne out by Cunningham's credentials as a teacher of Yoga and meditation.”
— Mike Daly, The Age, Melbourne
