    It's here we enter the world of the tame, a land where Sting is king and Phil Collins is raucous.

    Only the fuzzy reggae of "Power of One" is lively enough to rouse a dozing listener and hint at what the record might have been with a little less midnight meditation. [May 2003, p.121]

    After a promising start, the album charts a steep and steady decline into ersatz Bowie and slapdash psychedelia. [#58, p.96]

    Daniel's music comes with emotional baggage, giving it a real edge. Power of One is my favourite.

    Daniel's songwriting is creative and provocative, however he repeats some words over and over becoming tiresome eg Shine
