Nice things said about Love's ghost CD...
..."it all sounds SO good". BOB HARRIS. (BBC Radio 2)
"Very relaxing songs by Val Marshall ... .....vocals are like sequins of sparkling jewels.... ........just the right voice for taking you deep inside the music and evoking memories of the past... .......or for ’warming your heart’... or for putting everything else ’on hold’ while she sings... and you just listen...........and you can become hypnotized without even knowing it... as she takes you to distant places.... Like a musical siren, she subtly draws you into a rather pleasant form of mind travel... Yes... Very beautifully done. " - Magic Potion.(www.noisehead.com)
