Reviews
Pete Dillon of SameSame said; "With programming/mixing from Mr Timothy and John Course, Noonan’s beautifully feminine voice sits fabulously over some acoustic and electric guitar sounds and some wicked dance beats. With a sound similar to Morcheeba and Moloko, this is the music you want on when you are zipping around the house with a dust cloth or mop. It has been spinning while I have entertained dinner guests and works just as nicely." Adding "This is a highly recommended disc and one that should be in all those collections that have some great vocally based funky electro sounds."
Waterfront said: "John Course and MrTimothy have captured the sensual and uplifting essence of ''Skin'' while introducing a house, funk beat - and the result is the refreshingly ambient remixed album."
