What they're saying so far...

"Like his writing for film, this album conjures up personal thoughts and feelings, finally climaxing in a euphonious tone. The feeling that the ambient journey is over and harmony has been reached echoes forward. Soul searching aside, Standing In Silence reinforces Sheehan’s electronic maturity of this sonically abstract sounds." - Groove Guide ****

"Standing In Silence slides through various emotional states and observations. The sonic palette is a veritable treasure chest that sweeps between majestic grandeur and poignant fragility. It almost qualifies as a religious experience." - NZ Musician

"A cinematic record which, if you play at a loud enough volume with your eyes closed will, doubtlessly transport you to some wonderful corners of your imagination." - Cheese On Toast
