    The two CDs move forward with an eerie dread and romantic wonder; violin, piano, bass, celeste, cello creating an alternate wordless narrative to normal Cave blather. [Oct 2009, p.115]

    While disc two rounds out the duo's footprint upon several documentaries, what makes Cave and Ellis' scores unique is their doppelganger ability to stand alone without the films, while the films largely lean upon these audible landscapes as a means of storytelling. [Fall 2009, p.91]

    It's the latter comradely pursuits that this new 2CD compilation attempts to put into a comfortable package for those who just can't get enough from the twosome, or need a roadmap to understand where it leads into their better-known works; which it just about succeeds in doing.
