I was immediately stunned by how ahead of time this record was when it came out. That John Fahey originally released it on his Takoma label was reason enough for me to check it out. Nicholas Szczepanik
I can't get over how brilliant the transitions from one movement to the next are. Really stunning work. Definitely one of my favorite out-there albums of the year. Nicholas Szczepanik

Even if he says otherwise, Ian Hawgood is super prolific and incredibly talented in not only his own releases, but in collaborations and with the heart & soul put into the labels he's run over the years.
Saying all that, this is a more recent favorite release of Ian's: peaceful, deceivingly simple (yet not!) piano works that is personal, elegant and graceful in its warmth and presentation. Plus it's for a wonderful cause. Get it!! Joe Borreson
