“This is a wonderful CD built from environmental sounds, gently rocking marimbas, lovely counterpoint for winds, foot-taping rhythms, and sweetly sung wisdom from a chorus. Westward Ho! is an eight-part canon for voices and gambas. “Suite Equestria (Trail versus Road and Rail)” is scored for the amazing and energetic texture of unison chorus, marimbas and glockenspiel in triple canon, a steady beat percussion, and saxophones droning on a one-note rhythmic hocket. “Fujiyama 2 (Love Song)” is for speaking voice (in Japanese), unison chorus (in English) accompanied by unison koto, and a rich polyphonic texture of gambas in triple canonic accumulation (round) with the recorded sound of rain toward the end.” - Gene Tyranny, AllMusic
