| | | Brendyn Montgomery & Mike Considine | | Reviews
Winner of 2003 "Best Folk CD" NZ Music Awards.
"I really hope this album gets heard - it's something to marvel at: brilliant, bright, engaging music, played lovingly by kindred souls. For one person to be turned on to this would make up for the 50 a week that buy some random chart title as seen on TV." - Dominion Post March 2003
"Mountain Air is unquestionably buoyed by Montgomery’s feeling for wide open spaces and a healthy respect for silence. " - The Irish Times March 2003

| | | Trillion | | Review
'If Jody Lloyd lived in Wellington and this album had been recorded at The Lab, this disc might well be hailed as a work of genius by all and sundry. However, with Lloyd being a Mainlander and Trillion's album being created in the small but no doubt perfectly formed 'She'll Be Right' studio. it will only be the lucky few that will chance upon 'The Gray Between Shadow and Shade' and realise this album is no monotone creation but a sparkling jewel. Lloyd created the bedrock for the Trillion sound but a host of guest stars - including Jeremy Taylor, Flip Grater, Demarnia Lloyd, Mike Considine and Lindon Puffin - have helped flesh out the sound. Trillion uses a grab bag of sounds (few local records released this year will feature both bouzouki and marimba) to create an appetizing kaleidescope of sound. Hardcore indie one moment, danceable the next and even on occasion sounding ethnic. Trillion has a hard sound to describe, but the sum of all its parts adds up to a juicy whole. 4.5 stars."
