Reviews
P-Magazine: Words don't come easy to hail the qualities of this cd! This is the most intelligent, beautiful, exciting, thrilling and exuberant human music that I came across the past time.

Focus Knack: Armstrong Mutations is a record without compromise, full of musical pluck and knowledge, and played by a gang that can laugh with themselves. In short: not to be missed.
