"Despite the passage of time what's most striking about In The Corner Of The Eye is just how innovative Doran's music sounds today, a quarter of a century later. In The Corner Of The Eye is a thrilling affirmation of Doran's status as one of contemporary music's most significant acoustic and electric guitarists - on either side of the Atlantic."-Ian Patterson, August 2015
