Peter Rand and Nick DeNardo build a beguiling album of bewitching simplicity and graceful elegance, through which and because of which captivating nuance is delightfully conveyed and flashes of discernment gently revealed. All of this becomes possible because of the amazing mix, which creates the space, the depth and the sheer resonance to allow the music to live and breathe...

Progblog.co.uk also says -

"The duo of drummer Nick DeNardo and keyboard player/guitarist Peter Rand produce bucolic, melodic instrumental prog with washes of Mellotron which reminds me of some of Bo Hansson’s work and very early Genesis."

Imaginary Kings are Nick DeNardo (Drums) and Peter Rand (Keys/Guitars).
