"This is the most creative thing I've heard in a long time. Rundstom's songwriting ability, musicianship, and dark vocals are complemented by the lovely vocals of female vocalist myshkin. Instruments range from overdriven metal guitar to a "sitar-esque" banjo, to a washboard; all the while rundstrom's steady guitar picking stirs the pot. This is definatly not for the mainstream as the vocals are intentionally harsh in some places. But the vocals add to the power of each creative track. Favorites are "john farmer" (a three track piece that can be described as several explorations which come back to the major jam riff time and again), and "catch me I'm in hell", a solid-rocking and very creative piece."

Awesome

"This cd is way good. Rundstrom's lyrics are deep and thought provoking and like other works with split lip rayfield, the sound knows no genre. Nothing mainstream about it (which is exactly what i hoping for)."
