Some press on new record:
Dusted Magazine's ninth favourite record of 2007:
"Rick Tomlinson takes a rest from his endless string of CD-Rs to finally release a proper LP, and the result is Robin Hood circa Istanbul 1974. There simply wasn't a more transfixing album in 2007, whether Rick was channeling Fahey, Faust or Led Zeppelin. While the so-called "freak-folk" movement may have met its maker, there's no stopping normal dudes like Rick from taking acid and playing the shit out of an acoustic guitar. Lick it if you got it."
Included in 'Top 50 Albums of 2007' lists in both Uncut (no.18) & Mojo (no.49 - scraped in there)
"A higher key masterpiece." - 4/5 Mojo
"Sensational." - 4/5 Uncut
"Hard to believe this guy is British, it sounds so fucking good." - Volcanic Tongue
"Caring not a jot for tales of girls with flaxen hair and whatnot, instead fucks off on a magic carpet ride for a tour of psychedelic possibility. Extremely intoxicating." - 8/10 NME
"Simply put, 'Voice of the Seven Woods' is a vibrant, intelligent and engaging record, simultaneously delicate and dangerous, and sure to be one of the best things you'll hear in 2007." - dustedmagazine.com
"Voice of the Seven Woods has completely blown us away here at Terrascope Towers. I can't begin to recommend this album highly enough." - Terrascope Online
"Really exciting stuff with an Eastern fuzz that threatens to sear through your skull." 4/5 Record Collector
"'Voice of the Seven Woods' is going to end up as one of the albums of the year and Rick Tomlinson is before too long going to be the name on everyone's lips. Essential!" - Boomkat
"An inspired and ultimately timeless achievement that never ceases to captivate." - 4.5/5 Tinymixtapes.com
"It'll put all your other free-improv-avant-folk-drone CD-Rs to shame." 10/10 Vice Magazine
"Brilliance is brilliance and must be applauded as such." - 9/10 Foxy Digitalis
"A gorgeous rich tapestry of sound. We've been playing it non-stop." Aquarius Records
"Exemplifies all that is good about the guitar and all that is holy about music. I am well and truly converted" - Brainwashed.com
