"MONUMENTS OF MARS" is a classic work of super-sonic space music. From the dense waves of sound to the powerful currents of rhythm and deep resonant melodic themes, the entire production / conception is top notch. Add just the right mixture of spatial effects, literary cosmology and you have a great debut effort."-- Archie Patterson / EUROCK

"... The music not only has the exotic, visionary quality that so many people are looking for now, it actually conveys a sense of "place". The fact that everything but the percussion is MIDIed from guitar is astonishing, and contributes to the evocative and captivating immediacy of the music." -- Brian Earle, Clear Productions

"... I have seldom encountered a complete set of works such as "MONUMENTS", that has so enthralled me from the first time I heard it and failed to lose its intensity time after time. Discovering "MONUMENTS" is like finding a marvelous symphony in which every movement leaves the listener longing for more." -- Ken Keith / WCIN

"...Dwane vividly evokes an atmosphere of crumbling alien grandeur in these new-age instrumentals. A big, slow, timeless sound." -- Jim Aikin, Keyboard Magazine

"... Stunning work! Mark's compositions and personal style are completely original. Everybody, and I mean everybody that I know who has heard this album has been heartily impressed by it. You'll be too!" -- SYNTHESIS
