review extracts:
“A very beautiful CD… hints at jazz, classical and World Music…sounds great.” – BBC Radio 3
“Clemo’s evocative “location sound recordings” and his understated string writing give the music an atmospheric sense of place. This is a bold debut for Metier Jazz… an album I enjoyed greatly.” - Jazz Review
“Clemo possess the compositional vision… to create something both intensely personal and profoundly beautiful.” – Jazzwise
”Mesmeric and completely addictive.” – The Wire
“Clemo builds [a] jungle in your head with a view of strange landscapes beyond. Bring a change of clothes, you may want to stay for a while.” – Kenneth Egbert (Jazz Now)
