"At the time I thought we needed a program but having none was the right way. I would have just being a try hard pushing dune pseudo waffle. Most of this music was spontaneous  Therefore it lacked any pretensions about trying to be anything."
..Anton Mullet.

"I really enjoy listening to those early recordings because they bring back the excitement and enthusiasm I used to feel whenever we got together to make music. 
There's some great stuff there: the vague, distant ringing of the telephone combined with the strings and piano allow you to float through a very atmospheric scape. There was something immediately satisfying about the simple methods we'd use to generate and record sounds."
..Ingo Wieben.

"Wow. That's beautiful. And uncanny. I always felt that D27 tapped into something very deep and universal.
It's an extraordinary body of work and so completely ahead of its time. It also has a very timeless quality. Unique and peerless." 
..Ian White.
