REVIEWS:

Magnet, Oct.'95:
"I'm most impressed by the instrumentals "Dream Interpretation No.7" and "Dream Interpretation No.8," which dip, swirl and turn inside out in pursuit of Miller's eliptical dream logic."

Guitar Player, '95:
Included as one of "The 30 Downanddirty guitarists" of all time.

Boston Globe review of Miller's performance at the Loud Festival, Sept.'95:
"The effect was a combination of a mad scientist and a raucous, edgy, one-man band."

The Noise (Boston). Nov.'95:
"The album as a whole makes you feel like you've just been lectured to by someone who is a genius, but in a subject that you never thought was important."
