"Since radio stations insist on filling their airtime with endless repeated playings of Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Led Zep etc..Bands like Sundial get passed over. And its our loss. I came by Sundial's "Acid Yantra" by accident. Finding "3,000 Miles" on a compilation CD. A 30 second Amazon.com clip convinced me to take a chance on this CD. It hasn't left my CD player for 3 days. My favorite track is "Nova". A seven minute masterpiece that disolves into a Pink Floyd-like "Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun" and then into a guitar solo that Jerry Garcia would be proud of. Do yourself a favor a get this CD. There is not one bad song on it and repeated listenings will bring repeated pleasure."

Sundial - 'Acid Yantra' (Atlantic)

"Even though 'Acid Yantra' isn't their best work,this 1995 catalog title is still worth check out. Best described,as some WOULD say shoegazing psychedlic (I've always HATED that term,for some reason). Tracks I was semi-impressed with were the *ss-kicking "3000 Miles","Bad Drug",the adventurous "Fly Into The Sun" and "Yantra Jam". Personnel on this effort was strictly a duo,of Gary Ramon-guitar,mellotron&vocals and Craig Adrienne-tabla,drums,vocals and mixing. Just might appeal to some fans of Flaming Lips,Mercury Rev and Spiritualized."
