Reviews:

"Forgotten Places is a very visual album, with the listener experiencing each track similar to the way the mind accesses and recreates its memories; at times with crystal clarity and at others rosey, with a bit of fog around the edges."
Chuck van Zyl, Chuck van Zyl

"...Forgotten Places reminded me that this kind of music can be so completely gripping and emotion-stirring when done just so. The duo has hit upon a formula that absolutely must be heard to be appreciated, as no amount of words can ever possibly bring to light the sheer beauty of this album."
JimmyD, Instrumental Weekly

"Fans of Harold Budd, Brian Eno, and Roger Eno piano with treatments works will enjoy this release.... Overall, this is a solid winner for fans of meandering ivories that drift in the airy heights of the soul's ascent to peace."
John W. Patterson, EER-MUSIC.com
