"Over the years I have been moved by the many cover versions of our music that started appearing. Always amazed that people were touched enough by our songs to want to interpret them in their own way. I thought it was timely that i put together an album to represent these works...I hope they mean as much to those listening now as they have done to us...." Martin Bowes. May 2009.
"Creating and exploring rich shadowy electronic soundscapes...interweaving the ephemeral with the operatic, the sound can at once calm your soul and chill your bones..." The Hatchet/USA
