"Extraordinary
musicians produce extraordinary music. The songs on the Time album transcend all
conceivable stylistic frameworks.
The music is uniquely rewarding and reveals new facets every time you
listen to a song and allow yourself to become immersed in its appealing
intensity. The flawless lyrics
are full of fantasy, imagination and substance, achieving a
near-literary level of sophistication."
