EPOCH review by Eartickles

A great review of EPOCH by Baxter Tocher at EarTickles. Thank you Baxter!

“I have to confess I’ve never experienced music quite like this before. It would be very easy to use the word cinematic, but that simply would not do justice to what is effectively film drawn in sound. It’s an utterly stunning album, and I cannot wait to hear what the duo conjures up next.” – Baxter Tocher

Epoch review by Sylvain Lupari

A very nice review of Morris/Mystified’s “Epoch” by Sylvain Lupari is up at the Synth Sequences blog.

“We cannot remain indifferent to the musical search of Shane Morris and Mystified. A duet which lays a surprising musical painting where the soundscapes of a Jurassic world are show by the magic of sounds. It’s maybe not for all, but one has to raise our hat in front of so much artistic creativity.” – Sylvain Lupari
