Reviews

"Autumnal Homecoming has a hushed magical quality, like sitting around a campfire in the wood and watching through the tops of the trees the sparks disappear into the stars.The nagging emotional pull of Darkness and Fire is the sound of resignation made elegiac."
(Evening Echo)

Alien Left Hand -- What the critics say:

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine

“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew

"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun.
"
-- Diva Magazine
