Review Quotes




"Music From Elsewhere unfolds as an enjoyable, wide-ranging catalogue of the weird. Within, we meet curious figures such as Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours, a linguist who spent two chilly winters out in the field trying to compile a lexicon of crow language, and Rosemary Brown, a pianist medium who supposedly channelled new compositions by dead composers, from Debussy to Bach to Liszt."
--Louis Pattison, The Wire
