"Poets ranging from Adam Horovitz to Imtiaz Dharker are backed by shifting arrangements from Matthews and Joe Acheson on this remarkable collaboration ... In the pop era, the long love affair between poetry and music has bloomed into inspired tributes (...) while living poets declaiming to music has proved more erratic ... Here, Cerys Matthews and studio polymath Joe Acheson, AKA Hidden Orchestra, pull off the trick in style, with 10 diverse UK poets reading to arrangements that shape-shift dazzlingly between pastoral sound washes, stark beats and found sounds, all with "genesis" as the theme (more "poem song" albums are promised) ... A fascinating, lyrical collection - what an alt national treasure Cerys has become".
