Crossings

 
left quote …the understated cool of the Pink-Floyd-meets-Steve-Reich gem that is Nicky Hind's Crossings for guitar and live electronics (I could have listened to a whole disc of Nicky's work)… right quote
  – Guitarra Magazine, USA (from a review of Cem Duruöz' CD 'Contemporary Music for Guitar')
 

Seven Visions

 
left quote …a beautiful taste of experimental electronic music … a psychedelic journey to the center of your mind… right quote
  – Skylight, Greece
 

Hindsight

 
left quote Hind's half-dozen compositions use simple, flexible, melodic and rhythmic components to create an evocative, layered soundscape. Jazz soloists Steve Kettley and Dick Lee…add a distinctive voice to the music's constantly modulating flow, setting up a complex and fascinating musical dialogue, which staves off accusations of mere prettiness. Hindsight makes excellent musical sense of the relationship between writing and improvisation, maintaining an integral relationship between the individual voice and the base composition. right quote
  – The Wire Magazine, UK
 
left quote …this remarkably accomplished piece … a treat from beginning to end, but 'A Far Cry', which tells of the yearning for a distant loved one, and the spook-filled 'Dead Of Night' are particular stand outs. right quote
  – Zeitgeist, UK
 

Quest and Slumber

 
left quote …as you move from one garden to the next, perspectives change as the sounds overlap and fade. Begin at the garden marked Slumber, and feel a gentle hypnotic pulsing, like a heartbeat…In Quest the music – throbbing and pulsing, almost choral – becomes more directional. At the final garden, Confluence, the sound, built around the fountain, is like a chattering dawn chorus…Intriguing and fascinating. right quote
