 "\u0022Field Of Reeds\u0022 is a bud. If you don't water it and take care of it, it will die. But if you commit to making it grow, it will then give rise to a magnificent garden. Not to be missed."

 "Hidden was born between Prague and Los Angeles and has Jack Barnett as its sole creator; the other band members (Tom Hein-bass, George Barnett-drums, and Sleigh Johnson-keyboard) became aware of the new songs only after the work was completed and thus participated solely in the studio recording and live performances."

 "Fourteen tracks that blend punk/rock and brief electronic melodies in adequate proportions to create fourteen tracks that are simultaneously sharp and catchy."
