“[A] hypnotic and ethereally beautiful invocation of wind, sky and birdsong … Adams’s “Canticles” seems to achieve a new symbiosis, folding natural sounds into mathematically ordered patterns.

“…the sense of space is an Adams thumbprint — as is the spiritual aura that comes as a consequence.” - Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle
