Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"This is the debut album of a group dedicated to the invisible world. Some people operate invisibly by choice, some are invisible because of the nature of events in their life, some remain invisible and unknown against their will.

Legendary music master Daniel Carter came up with the title Radical Invisibility. He says about this project: "This group has signature attitude, and astonishing access to some of the enticingly key mysteries of musical creation... mood, atmosphere, recognizable group-sound identity. A graceful, but quite radical, radical, but quite graceful, subtle synthesis of a wide range of musical styles/genres/traditions/sensibilities. Divinely infectious".

In various sections of the music, the listener, may ask her/himself, "I know I'm somewhere notably specific and real, but how did I get here?".-577
