"OK boys & girls, properly strapped in are we? Every once in a while something extra special comes along. for some of us - this is such a time. Hoopy Frood, you might have never heard of them but after this release you will have. psychedelic ambient meets Pink Floyd. wow!. I won't keep banging on about it. Suffice to say I am still blown away every time I hear it. Here's some info about the band - Hoopy Frood is proud to present, as their first release, Psychonaut. travelling though all downtempo genres from psychedelic, ambient, chilled, electro, rock, ambient, folk and spiritual vocals, this is a multi-dimensional album. Rich and Steve, the main protagonists, have been playing for many years in rock inspired bands. This new project, Psychonaut, is inspired by Led Zeppelin/Jimmy Page, Pink Floyd, Yes, Purple, Tangerine Dream, Gong, and Ozric Tentacles. This album is as diverse as it is inspiring; prepare to be humming 'never coming down' over and over. A real treat. Air guitars at the ready, let's go! This goes beyond the accepted horizons of the psy-ambient genre exploring concepts of self-awareness, discovery and inner peace - a hoopy world where everyone is happy. "

"errrrrr.... It's difficult to disassociate myself from Rubbish Records and say what I think on a personal level but Rubbish says - this is good: buy it and we'll make a small commission. I say - WOW !!!!!! This album is totally up my street - I really can't recommend it enough. It is definitely the MOST played promo I have received. I'm not really sure what it's got going for it, I'm not qualified to say how good or bad the musicianship is or how technically good it is, but the way this album has been constructed is, for me, as effective and impressive as I found Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and I've never grown tired of that. I suspect I will never tire of Hoopy Frood. I feel they have chucked Pink Floyd, Fun Loving Criminals and Enigma into a bucket and pulled out one of the most outstandingly pleasant albums of the year. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I LIKE IT! I hope you do, too."
