Tim Newcombe (Pianist and Composer from Stilton, UK)- "Really enjoyed the album. I think its a cracking indie style, the guitars are warm and the mix and production is superb. I have just spent an enjoyable time listening to it.
What a triumph. Each track from ‘XTC’ through to ‘Till the Dawn’ is an epic and smacks of both individuality and originality. The vocals and instrumentation are inspirational and I put this at the top of the scale of Independent albums. Excellent album and I would thoroughly recommend it."
Rew Starr (Singer/Songwriter from New York City, USA)- "This album has a retro modern sound to me, every track has a distinct feeling of its own. Andy has such a softness to his voice that really touches my spirit. Such a talented songwriter and masterful at production. Love this album!! I listen on a loop!"
Doc Mason (Radio Presenter and Music Enthusiast from Peterborough, UK)- "Andy Hughes is a talented Singer Songwriter, he wears his heart on his sleeve lyrically & his songs are often multi instrumental delights"
Lewis Hastie (Musician, Singer/Songwriter from Sheffield, UK)- "This is a superb collection of rock anthems. Every track is meticulously arranged and produced to a high standard.
Andy’s ability to craft exciting pulse racers with very eloquent vocals is wonderfully unique. 'Till the Dawn' is, lyrically, a thought provoking song and there is a moving beauty to the track 'Eternal Happiness', my personal favourite 'Shadow of Solitude' and 'Edge of the World' are the stand out hits. Both are climactic, the most euphoric chorus being in 'Shadow of Solitude'.
'Edge of the World' features a highly memorable riff and although Shadow of Solitude’s key hook is the line “Cos you’re not worth it”, this record most definitely is worth it!"
