The Independent, 1st May 2009
'An unusual, fresh and startlingly lovely meeting of creative minds'
Classic FM Magazine, August 2009
'Goss's style is persuasively individual and sensitive, taking relatively conservative rhythmic patterns and allying them to a harmonic range that is exotically charged'
