Mike, as you know, I, like so many, am a huge fan of your work. Accessing  
it through you tube is just great. I am very much looking forward to 
Basilica.  Great stuff!

From  the album 'Basilica' - _www.mikedickson.org.uk/basilica_

I  suppose this is how Thomas Tallis might have sounded if he had access to 
an  Eminent, and Elka Rhapsody, a Korg PE2000 and a Freeman String  
Symphonizer. 

I really  love this piece - it has a really out-of-sorts harmony near the 
beginning and  never lets up from that angular beginning. The bass works as a 
counterpoint to  the main melody (as opposed to just being an 
accompaniment) and the tenor and  alto lines act almost like a call-and-response. 

He got a lot of mileage out  of four voices, our Tommy did.
