Pretty phenomenal - By: person, 30 May 2008 
This is an unusual album... it's jazz, but not as you know it. I can even hear hints of Tori Amos on 'Well' & Radiohead on 'Dinosaur Die'. The musicianship of these three is just stunning & what really strikes me so much about the album is the production, it's so beautifully engineered, so flawless, it's a treat every time it's played. All the tracks are good, some more beautiful than others, with great, soaring musical landscapes that Cowley manages to conjure up on the piano. Really great drumming & double bass too. Highly recommended.
Beautiful & Uplifting - By: C. Whittaker, 14 Apr 2008 I'd never heard of this band until I saw them on "Later with Jools holland".
I bought this album purely on hearing "His Nibs" being performed on the program. It was energetic & the way Cowley bounces around on his seat & really conveys his passion & love for music.
I knew instantly that there was something special & different about this Jazz/Rock trio, so instanty went online & bought the album which I never usually do.
When I received the album, I played it, loved it & played it again...twice.
Being a Jazz trumpet player myself I loved this music with its wide variety from Tasteful Jazz, Rock & Soul (No horrible Beat-bop here!). This music is almost a new kind of Jazz. Its energeticin areas &in others big open chord heavy beautifulness. The melodies & use of catchy hooks keep your head bopping & its great to cook food to (as I found out!).
This album has balls, it has attitude, it'll knock you for six & leaves you smilingin awe. 5 of out 5 here
Elements of Different Styles - Real Fusion - By: Mr. John Heath, 05 Apr 2008 Like all good music that is not commercial or mainstream I stumbled on this trio after reading a reviewin the Sunday Times & listening to some clips of tracks on the internet. This album is magically impressive if you enjoy jazz, funk & rock because this band combine all three elementsin my opinion. Funked up hard bopping jazz, very percussive & power driven but with some subtle melodies thrownin to break up the relentless pace. This is not safe, smooth jazz but has an edge & a tension. Kind of reminds me of EST but different enough to sound different & Pat Metheny Groupin their heavier guises but without the electrics. An album of undoubted energy, verve, funk & enough melody to keep it all together. Not late listening but more for those moments when you want to let it bleed & rock. I'm more than pleased I bought this outstanding album.
