"I bought this album on a Groove Salad-inspired whim. No regrets! Sweet Buterfly alone just fills my soul. Beautiful ambience, great to relax with a beer and just sigh it all away..."

"Charles Webster has put together a strong album here. I have to agree with the other reviewers' praise.
The sound is warm, peaceful, even understated. The listener is gently emersed in these beautiful patient beats. There's no adrenaline here, it's all dopamine. Impassioned lyrics are sung, never overbearing, often overwhelming.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the album has great consistency. From the first note to the last, the soundscape is alive, dynamic, interesting.
I've listened to this disc on a regular basis for the past 2 years and I always seem to get lost in the music, each time I put it on. How can I articulate this any better? The music creates a beautiful place to be.
My sincerest thanks to Charles Webster for making this album."

"I have purchased many copies of this and his Presence- "All Systems Gone" album after having had to "borrow" it back from friends whom have taken it. The lyrical quality of the songs as well as the subtle layered sonic textures warrant repeated listens. Medatative and contemplative. The guest vocalists allow for each song to stand out individually. The track selection is reversed in tempo from his Presence 'All Systems Gone'this time starting ambient and acousticaly down beat and pickig up the pace. Nice vocals from Terra Deva who gets mildly Kate Bush on 'Ready'. Del St. Joseph and Presence regulars Steve Edwards and Sara Jay return as well. You won't be disappointed. Great for late night work in the studio, over some wine or even before going out."
