about

"What has been composed this time out is uncompromisingly brave, not only has First re-defined the technical side of the sitar he’s customized it so as to deliver results no one else could. Creativity is far from dead, ignore the cynicism of now which pathetically insists that “it’s all been done before”. There’s a hope on my part that he continues to maintain interest in this instrument but even if this is as far as he goes, the four entries which comprise this series could not have been concluded without a better coda. They’re borne out by a facet of our frail humanity that’s dwindled to dangerously low levels in this hyper-connected, insanely modern age." Peter Marks/Santa Sangre Magazine.

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall
