“Wingfield possesses the goods to be a world-beater... sparking vivid notions that the guitar is an extension of his soul. Astounding virtuosity and unique voice... Many artists and technicians within the perceivable inner circle recognize Wingfield as a force to be reckoned with. Akin to guitar heroes, Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, Wingfield makes his guitar howl, sing, and cry for mercy amid flickering single note runs." –Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz

“The sound of this music is bigger than its component parts. Maybe it's guitar marvel Mark Wingfield’s careening reverb, his vibrato or sustain... Wingfield’s guitar as a piercing, darting, spectral sound full of artful glissandi... the guitarist seemingly winging it but really guiding the song’s intricate contours... full of life from a generous spirit." –John Ephland, Downbeat (* * * * ½)

“Here Mark Wingfield unquestionably proves that he can become a giant... Coltrane's style, comes to the fore in several ways... Mark Wingfield served with his silky melodic sound fits generously with the artists on the legendary Munich ECM label." –Stephen Braun, Rock Times

“The vocal dimension that's so central to Wingfield's playing. His lines undulate melismatically much like a singer's, and the cry of his playing exudes an emotional immediacy characteristic of the human voice. –Ron Schepper, Textura

“The ethereal, bending howl of the leader’s guitar leads the ear in other directions... expressiveness and singing lines... a distinctive, pitching bending, now wailing, now growling sound stretching out slow moving melodies... The themes and melodic lines hint at music from a myriad of cultures... Full of energy and emotion... Fans of the continually expanding frontier of music blending rock, jazz and eclectic influences will want to have this album on repeat." –Mike Collins, London Jazz

“As a guitarist he has earned the highest recognition amongst professional colleagues with his melodic, signature style of playing... sometimes majestic, in other parts mysterious and always surprises you with its turns, twists and inflections... Mark Wingfield plays with the imagination of the listeners... evokes memories and associations" –Kerstin Baramsky, Grand Gtrs Magazine

“Enchantingly wondrous... Six-string savant searches the darkest reaches of personal universe… everybody talks about his unique approach and amazing technique... while almost ignoring the pleasure his sonic creations bring... brightness of the true master" –Dmitry M. Epstein, DME

“His superb phrasing is just the start. It’s his choices in tone and the way his notes spill into unusual areas that make the biggest impression. They just coat your ear holes with gooey goodness... the chops of god... a unique voice, singular approach and defined sense of journey. This work takes you to places serene and stimulating." —Rob Hudson, Modmove

“This free compilation is a total no-brainer! One of the truly great guitarists to emerge in the 21st Century who can cross musical genres with natural ease: magnificent technique,a truly jaw-dropping sonic pallette coupled with high impact emotional thrust... what's not to like and be amazed by." —John Cratchley
