"The truly evocative second track...uses “a plaintive flute” to depict a sense of being lost and wandering. Listening to it, one can easily visualize a vast open space without road signs or familiar sights, as well as a sense of being suspended between the life you left behind and the uncertainty looming ahead." ~ Jasmina Wellinghoff, ARTS ALIVE SAN ANTONIO
