"The sound may be 'Tibetan'...but the music is in another world." Bernard Holland, New York Times
"a soul-journey which will strike a deep chord with diverse listeners by one of New York's most popular and original composers...Mostel achieves remarkable paradoxes...collective and personal, noise and drone, avant-garde and natural, Oriental and Occidental, process-structured and ritualistic. Yet, there's nothing synthetic or eclectic here...The music...carves out its own space...with the ring (pun intended) of self-possessed authenticity." Kyle Gann
