Various people have started to say nice things about it, including Graham Reid over at elsewhere.co.nz. He says it's 'very good indeed.'

Jeff Harford at the ODT says it's 'strange and beautiful.'

Over at the Lumiere reader they're calling it 'highly recommended, an idiosyncratic and fascinating piece of music that showcases some real talent and fascinating musicianship.' ..

Dear Sparkletrons,

Guess what we found in our teacup this morning?
One small gold flake and a blue butterfly wing,
both, it seems, found their way during our slumber,
came there like ashes descend after-ember.
We took these treasures to have clever meanings,
gold is the morning, the other's the evening,
taken together, they fill up your day,
and leave their touch-traces, like tree-wind-kiss sways.

Winter Regards from Southern Shores!
