"A regular raider of record store bargain bins and insatiable tracker of private pressings, his passion for the rare and offbeat ensures that `Feel the Music Vol. 1' plays out in his image. In one respect, it's a collection of genres that become united in their diversity as you bounce from broken-down blues rock to ethereal psych-folk and a host of unclassifiable sounds in between; in another, it's a curation that reads like a hardcore collector's Discogs wishlist".

"Feel The Music is a riotous belly-crawl through some private press/no-hit-wonders of the 70s (only Justyn Rees' hymn-like Behold was recorded in 1969). There's a lot of variety here but the overall tone is cohesive - all of the tracks are characterised by fogged-out fidelity and full-blooded performance styles, as if the musicians were playing for their lives without interference from watch-tapping record execs".

"The ambiguous terms 'outsider art' or 'outsider music' might be used in relation to this wonderful collection. Yet it's hard to see it as outsider, given that the songs follow in the slipstream of some style or another that informed the zeitgeist of the late 60s and 70s - with the notable exception of Solomon. So while these tracks might not be all that strange or experimental, they do encode those 'dream wishes', to appropriate Jeffries' term, of a generation".
