"Good old KPFA radio in the Bay Area played a couple of tracks from this cd and that's all it took. One of the most beautiful falsetto and operatic voices you will ever hear singing contemporary music. Combine the magnificence of his voice with a mostly ambient soundscape created by very capable musicians, and, original compositions penned with a poetic bent that Jeff Buckley and his Dad would have loved, put it all together and you have one very unusual recording. This guy has stepped out of the mold into soemthing very much unique. I can only hope for more work from him and perhaps a slightly better mix and production from the studio. Bill Laswell plays on one track and unfortunately, it wasn't enough for me. Would love to hear a more collaborative effort from these two. Percy is someone to look out for. Definitely not mainstream."
