A Quare Yield

"Many thoughts and adjectives popped into my mind as I listened to this album over the last two months, whether walking the dog, driving, or at the computer: the music is welcoming, warm and engaging; it is gently dynamic, and in no way brash; its dynamics are subtle, refined, totally unpretentious; it has a unified coherence and comfortable pace – we are never jolted by sudden surprise moves which might break the spell cast by Rachel and Alan. The duo have taken confident ownership of these tunes, harvested from such diverse sources.
