Reviews

• A short favourable review of Cauldstane Slap in the online fanzine Leicester Bangs
• A long and highly entertaining review in Coke Machine Glow, with a score of 78%
• 4-star review of Cauldstane Slap in Scottish arts/music monthly The Skinny
• The Wire magazine – Through Sulph’rous Night was favourably reviewed in the April 2005 edition. The review describes the LP as ‘a gently inventive collection of melodies, scattered percussion and occasional samples lifted from Eastern European films and shortwave broadcasts’ and goes on to say that ‘the inclusion of live cicadas on “Where The White Mulberry Trees Grow” and field birds on “The Town Beneath The Sea” indicates a talent for sensitive phonographic excursions.’
