Autocatalysis (28 July 2006)
"I don’t even know where to begin. To me music is important, good music is great, and beautiful sound is more of a...’I-need-it-to-live’ category. I think yours fits in that last one."
- Marta (Mystery, Canada)
It Hurts So We’re Not Dead (28 July 2006)
"While I MEAN to give helpful, rational feedback, all I want to do is run around and throw copies of your CD at people, photograph their faces upon listening, and give THAT to you instead. The music makes me FEEL too strongly to be able to THINK about it enough to speak on it in a way that would be useful to you."
- Ruth Smith (Kansas City, MO, USA)
The Cartographers (28 July 2006)
"Your music melts me."
- Stephanie Gordon (Chicago, IL, USA)
