Muller is blessed with something rare - an individual voice. On both soprano and tenor, she explores deep chasms of sound and abstract melody. on “Crazy Cradle”, for example, Muller uses the percussive head as a base from which to sway the melody from side to side, never quite settling for the obvious. On “Searching For a Place To Be”, she plays a simple but gorgeous melody that drifts over the rolling rhythms of bassist Peter Herbert and drummer Jeff Brillinger. The resulting effect is truly trance-inducing and quietly intense...this is a stunning debut. - Russ Summers, Option 70, Sept./Oct. 1996
