"'Drawing on material from the impressive You Tunes album, they moved between brooding ambience, fairly straight-ahead jazz, extended journeys & howling climaxes... one of the best guitar sounds in Australian jazz"  John Shand, live review, SMH

"With his experience in rock & in the more avant reaches of jazz (as well as the mainstream) Rollinson has many distortion & colouristic effects at his disposal. He can play hard & gritty as well as lyrically”. John Clare 

"Tim Rollinson proves himself to be a thorough modernist, taking bits & pieces from the styles of Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Jerry Garcia & a lot of others, then synthesizing them into an expansive & easy-going approach that’s pretty much a pleasure to listen to."  Stuart Kremsky, Cadence (USA)

"Tim’s unique guitar sound is somewhere between jazz & rock, blues & soul. It has enough edge in both low & high frequencies to sound like rock, but is still warm, round & supple enough for jazz. It’s impossible to pigeonhole, with naturally elements of other guitarists like Scofield, or Frisell, but also Ry Cooder appearing, but something more personally developed as well. It is both contemporary & a nostalgic reminder of some of the great blended guitar sounds that emerged in the 70s."  Chris Cody (Jazztrust review)
