 'American Dreams' and 'Unity' album review quotes:

" It was American Dreams that first introduced me to a sound that I described variously as wide-ranging, eclectic, funky and timeless. And Unity is still all of those things…and perhaps more... There are songs such as Bring The Magic Back which are straight out of their chilled and seductive West Coast playbook, there is Latin-infused chamber pop in the form of Mr. Moonbeam and there is gorgeous AOR rock with Laura in the Moonlight, all garnished with supple and subtle music and motifs. There is even room for a reggae take of Bowie’s Rebel Rebel!... somehow the benchmarks have been well and truly raised..."

"Hemisphere does that rarest of things – make music which is both eclectic and controlled. The former term is generally applied to music which is wild and wide-ranging, the latter to music which is “in the pocket,” as the saying goes." - Dave Franklin 

"References to their lush sound would be the intrepid exploratory jazz-rock fusion of Steely Dan. Unlike Steely Dan though there is a kindness to the whole of the album. Instrumentally rich, they incorporate horns, gentle bass lines, and glowing keyboards. Vocals tie all of it together featuring lyricism that absolutely pops with joy." - Beach Sloth Music
