"Kaphan makes Zen music for dustbowl airports. bewitching instrumentals, sweet dreams of light and flight in which Kaphan's licks ring like prayer bells across an open Texas plain" - Rolling Stone

"this record is amazing" - Peter Buck (R.E.M.)

"Kaphan's original compositions range from Harold Budd-like soundscapes to luxurious cosmic cowboy themes, to a couple of sonically trippy tracks reminiscent of Brian Eno's better works" - Music Connection
