The 1st CD release which was limited to just 500 copies and now sold out and as Reefus said: "Recorded on an old Tascam 388 reel to reel 8-track under the influence of confusion and several cats.'

Phil McMullen- Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine 1993:

"The material on here is, if anything, sharper than ever. Moons specialises in delivering poignant visions of contemporary life filtered through distorted gossamer veils of paranormal pictures. Just listen as he spouts forth on such diverse subjects as 'Frostbite', 'Life on a Razor Blade' and 'Acid House Sergeant' in his understated, underhand kind of way, each song propelled along by guitar, rhythm and keyboards and the keyboards and the Reefus Patent Insect Energizer Device, an arcane methodology but one which does seem to work.

'The melody still lingers/Like the smell of rotting apples' sings the Reefus in 'Ghost', suddenly bursting into flower with a tiny Stylophone solo which somehow fails to undermine the majesty of the composition.

The excellent 'Seven of Seeds' and the equally worthwhile 'Skyscraper Song' only serve to confirm what we have suspected all along: Reefus Moons is one of the good guys.' Phil McMullen- Ptolemaic Terrascope 1993.

"In one case it would go between late Lou Reed and early REM, and in the other between Monty Python and Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Both are very appropriate.' Aiden Merritt- Positive Vibrations Magazine.
