Reviews:

A kind of journey set to music by Peter Griggs that is as clear and mysterious as the dance itself.
- Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times –

His music sometimes shimmers along almost like Debussy.
- Tom Johnson, The Village Voice –

A beautiful recording of world music.
- John Schaeffer in his book New Sounds –

An absolutely superb guitar performance by Mr. Griggs.
- Brad Biondo, AfterTouch –

Subtle nuevo flamenco guitar stylings...Griggs guitar adds just the right touch.
