REVIEWS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

I think Dave Sinclair's new record has a lot of his musical personality in a unique Canterbury style.
He put old and unreleased recordings at the end of the CD and it reminded me of his early career.
Unfortunately the cd doesn't come with lyrics like the others and I think that makes it a little difficult for fans from other countries to better understand its message.
The album is essential for anyone who enjoys Dave Sinclair's work.
