'While improvisation is central to the band's conception, it's the quality of the Sadeghi's​ compositions and the opulence of the ensemble sound as much as any soloing​ that makes the music so enthralling. Despite its bright, metallic sound, the tar has a singular ability to soothe one into a state of quiet rapture, so you emerge from its spell feeling that perhaps you can survive another day, after all.' (John Shand - The Sydney Morning Herald)
