Review

Again based on a Buddhist fable, Shea's latest Sub Rosa work is in more of an ambient/electro-acoustic vein, although familiar names such as Erik Freidlander, Jim Pugliese, and Zeena Parkins show up in the credits. Composed to be played in any order, The Tower Of Mirrors integrates elements of jazz, post-classical and experimental electronic, Latin and exotica, and even rock and techno into lush, detailed soundscapes on par with the recent works of artists such as David Toop and Tetsu Inoue. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide
