What the Listeners say of "The Knife that Cuts a Tear";

"All I can say is you reduced Irene to tears of joy and me, well, I just sat gobsmacked on the floor between the speakers. We listened to the CD twice without saying much.... we love it." Steve

"The cd... is very beautiful in all details! I'm just listening and I am (again) amazed. The compositions, your use of the loopmachine is so intelligent....It is exciting to listen!" Stephan

"Been enjoying your new CD immensely. It;s the kind of work that can take many listenings and wears well across many moods and times of day." Fay

"I have listened to three tracks this morning. The first two ['Clarity' & 'Nature of Reality'] I can best describe as 'hauntingly beautiful', and 'very deep'. The last, the title track
['The Knife that Cuts a Tear']
, affected me differently from the first two, more 'uplifting'. I love the lyrics of the latter, and am sure that it will cause many to stop and think about the deeper meaning/s of life." Mark

"Just listened to the tracks Kristin and I thought they were exquisite!" Dan

"Thank you Kristin. I have been enjoying your music and words.You have a touching gift. Good luck and I wish you all the best." Anon

"Amazingly beautiful! I'd love to put it through a big sound system and lie on the floor and "feel" the music through my skin." Anon
