‘Its appeal is considerable and direct. The main body of its first section sides on energetic, syncopated dance-like rhythms, often with a Latin flavour. There are fleeting reminders of the idiom of, say, West Side Story. The middle, generally slower section revolves around a core of instrumental dissension … Vine’s invention is brilliantly appropriate for his purposes.’
Roger Covell, The Sydney Morning Herald, 20 March 1995
