King Coyne Meets The Chemicals Uptown: A Summit Meeting with the Lips and the Chems
Barney Hoskyns, Uncut, October 2003

Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands have, after all, collaborated in the past – twice – with former Flaming Lip Jonathan Donahue. A common spirit of sonic voyaging ties all these fine gentlemen together.
