Reviews:
"Those who enjoy Principle's work will appreciate this. Contemplative, meditative semi-exotica, more than anything it feels like a soundtrack to an unknown movie" (All Music Guide, 2005)
"The real brainiac in Tuxedomoon is probably the shy and retiring Peter Principle, whose solo albums to date contain more sonic mayhem and mischief than anything by either Brown or Reininger" (Paris Transatlantic, 05/2007)
