Entertainment Reviews:

Spin - 11/00, p.202
7 out of 10 - "...Inspiring Coleman flights....SKIES used a composed score yet was written 'free of key' as a manifestation of Coleman's 'harmolodic theory' of collective improv..."
The Wire - 6/00, p.46
"...Remains as confounding as it was upon its release....[His] score veers from the simplistic...to the profound....as grand and nanve as the idea of America itself..."
Down Beat - 8/00, p.66
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A study in monophony....It's well worth listening to..."
