"a series of tiny masterpieces. Wonders on so modest a scale tend to be in short supply these days." The Wire
"fascinating gem of a disc." Avant
"Remarkable recorder music . . . made such an impression . . . really new and significant . . . breathtaking . . . totally gripping and convincing." The American Recorder

"Bennetts and Bowman are a truly incredible pair on recorders the sounds are uncanny, wild and a million miles from your expectations . . . Bousted is a major new arrival in British microtonal composition . . . his music has great elegance, wit and substance." British Harry Partch Society
"Bousted has attempted to develop a new "tonality" and sound world . . . through a carefully worked out quarter-tone system ... an excellent addition to our contemporary repertoire." The Recorder Magazine (Sheet Music)
"Bennetts and Bowman perform well. Their intonation is superb and their tone is well-matched. Since listening to this recording and becoming more familiar with the quarter-tone language, the piece holds more and more interest. It is challenging, but becomes more accessible each time one listens to it . . . the recording is compelling and ought to hold a place in every contemporary recorder player¹s collection."
