    The concept of this album is about following a path that is eventually going to lead 20 years down the line and wonder where it will take you. [Nov 2014, p.94]

    One of his best then, and a perfect entry point for anyone who might be intrigued. [Nov 2014, p.116]

    Prophet can be, by turns, both snarky and sardonic, qualities the aforementioned forebears know all too well. Happily though, he himself is no slacker, especially when it comes to both sentiment and sarcasm.

    Night Surfer is as good as it gets and you don’t need much more, if anything at all.

    Prophet has something absolutely genuine to say, and he continues to be a prime exponent of walking like you talk it. [No. 114, p.61]

    Night Surfer remains that rare record that elucidates how dysfunctional our world has become while somehow leaving us thankful that we get to trudge ahead through the mess.

    Night Surfer is a swashbuckling set of blasted guitars and rootsy grooves. [Dec 2014, p.80]

    While several other songs get overly-orchestral. Sometimes the strings work really well, though, like on Lonely Desolation, fuelled by plucked violin.
