Gualala, CA
"Should be welcomed with cheers . . . A considerable labor of love . . . Recordings like these don't often win those international prizes (mostly because the producers can't afford the hype). But I have no hesitation in declaring Enclosure Two one of the most important releases of the year."
- Allan Ulrich, San Francisco Examiner
"These CDs fill out our picture of Partch into a life of tremendous complexity . . . a whopping four CD set . . . the lot is a treasure trove of early sketches and intimate moments that invite us to rethink Partch’s significance. The question becomes not, ‘Is Partch the greatest American composer?’ but, ‘Aside from Partch and a few others, does American music exist at all?"
- Kyle Gann, Village Voice
