"...a warmth and naturalism not always associated with free jazz...a challenging release with a broad range. The improvising is consistently surprising."
--Carl Baugher, Cadence, 1991
"Stranded In Paradise is a pleasure to experience...Exiles has created its own universe here, one that is apocalyptic and whimsical by turns." --Tom McDermott, The Riverfront Times, 1991
"...hectic-virtuosity improv...European serialism versus Indian ragas......Mills and Zelenka avoid the ethnic and jazz cliches." --Kyle Gann, The Village Voice, 1991
"The music is gorgeous, built on deep rich tones layered on top of each other, with instruments engaged in fascinating conversations..." --Steve Pick, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1991
"...impressive examples of individually developed free improvising styles...the music sounds vehement and pure..." --Bad Alchemy
"There are many beautiful passages and the CD deserves attentive listening." --Barry Witherden, Wired, 1991
"...magical virtuoso improvisational duo...mysterious, unabashedly beautiful...Exiles provides a compelling listening experience, full of joy and reverence for sonic history and evolution that is seldom experienced on a free improv recording." --Thom Jurak, www.allmusic.com, 2007
