"Their music? It's inventive, imaginative, intense and an amalgam of many divergent influences- sounds that range from old-time ragtime blues to exotic, drone-and-bells, minor keyed music of Greece and Turkey. It's music that is offbeat, far-out. You'll just have to listen ! " - Arnold Shaw,  from liner notes to album.
