STAY TUNED.......

Sounds Like"This is a complete DIY project in every sense of the phrase. Sonically, this is the lo-fi-est of the lo-fi. One is reminded in some ways of the homemade debut of Danielson... you won't find Williams' music or anything like it anywhere on the radio. Siamese Connection could probably be most accurately described as a sonic experiment." (Phantom Tollbooth)

"Rick has honed his craft and has gotten better. Nonetheless, he has not compromised what he feels and hears in his head... the (music) shows an influence of non-Western music and culture. These tunes are homemade on whatever equipment Williams could find. Just like Danielson, Williams makes the music that he sees and feels." (Cutting Edge)

"(Rick's music) is what it sounds like when I put on Sonic Youth and Tom Waits at the same time." (Steve Taylor, producer of Sixpence None The Richer)
