“Metheny’s liner essay stresses that the point of music technology is its help in finding ‘the good notes.’ There are plenty of those here, in fresh combinations.” - Bradley Bambarger, North Star Ledger
“(Orchestrion) combines old-fashioned, unamplified live performance with (Metheny’s) restless urge to innovate.” - The Guardian (U.K.)
“Prepare your mind to be blown…” - PerfectPorridge.com
