From the first track, John Meed winds simple acoustic Knopfler-esque patterns of guitar, mellotron and vocal. His music could easily soothe any troubled soul. ‘Le Train De Grande Vitesse’ is a fine example of what John’s lilting, part-spoken vocal and clever lyrics bring to the table, as they take you on a journey through the historical ages.

The addition of rhythmic Latin percussion to ‘Dreaming Of Rio’ makes it my clear favourite. Bossanova and swing combine with an innocent English vocal that makes me long for sun and sand whilst reality finds me staring forlornly at fog and frost. (John Clarke, Music-zine, Feb 2008)

John Meed is an artist that I'm coming to admire more and more. He has a great take on the world and often hits points that would have just passed me by. In a new slant on ‘The ant and the grasshopper’, for example, he basically says, forget survival, would you rather be the grasshopper making music, or with the ants in the rat race? Most people can work, how many can entertain? Well John Meed can for a start. It's an album of travel and journey, physical and spiritual, people and places. (Neil King, FATEA, March 2007)
