REVIEWS

“[first...  listen] is one of the most prime examples of exemplary contemporary instrumental work that I have had the pleasure to listen to in years.”

- Steve Sheppard - One World Music Radio

“first…  listen is a musical and spiritual message to the world. The new age and world elements that make up this music with old and new instruments and today’s technology form a masterful recording that is unforgettable for this listener.”                                                                                             - Keith “MuzikMan” Hannaleck-NAMR Reviews Founder

“In an age of disposable, “skip between the tracks” culture, first…. listen is a breath of fresh air.  Sit down in your favourite chair, switch off the phone and listen to this album from start to finish”  10/10

- Fonz Tramontano - Clouzine Music Magazine

"We require a silence to prepare for what we might hear. We approach the music with an open mind, an open spirit, and immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing music bath of sound. On first… listen Mr. Grant and company has filled the not silences superbly and they have created just the right not atmosphere to foster our mindful journey. Highly listenable."
