“if you like highly melodic/mildly ambient rock spiced with just a soupçon of World elements, and appreciate fine female vocals, then No Ordinary World is a brilliantly produced album you’ll want to revisit time, and time again.
An album of the year contender, for sure. *****” Pete Whalley Get Ready To Rock
