Reviews:
“A very well-executed collection of experimental compositions. Ranges from industrial factory spaces to future primitive ambient ritual songs. This tape held my interest longer than most.”
— Ron Rice, H23 #3 (the minimalism issue)
“Dugan’s compositions are built like houses, layer by layer, brick by brick, much like the architecture of his imagery.”
— Glen Thrasher, Lowlife #17
“The feel here is unpretentious in a hometaper sense but not lacking in quality. The result is solid, varied and simple musics.”
— Rob Forman, ND #15
