Praise for "Everything Leads to Here" '... A 55 minute excursion into the expanses of outer and inner space...dripping with psychedelia...echoed chorused guitar shimmers and glistens, evoking choirs of celestial bells chiming in a zero-gravity expanse...If Hawkwind had collaborated with Peter Gabriel on a selection of tracks from the Passion album, it might have sounded something like this... Future releases will hopefully find Cavanagh building off this foundation, creating a name for himself as a fresh voice in contemporary space rock.' '...an amazing aural journey that you can't help but revisit after the music stops. I feel that the name Nog Cavanagh is destined to be synonymous to modern space rock and psychedelia.... by far one of the better recordings in the genre... without doubt a very recommended purchase.' '...55 minutes of stunning space rock . Hard percussion and searing guitar plunge the audience into a spacey realm of dazzling astral rock compositions. Electronics spin and explode, propelling the music to the outer regions of galactic space. But the strongest attractions here are Cavanagh's guitar pyrotechnics. Manifesting a gritty brilliance with slick ease, the riffs blaze with a unique fervour, glistening like shooting stars crossing a purple twilight sky... A thoroughly rewarding sonic experience.' 'Multi-instrumentalist Nog Cavanagh explores the universe from his home studio with his all instrumental music that draws on classic guitar space rock and a more modern synth driven kind of psychedelia as its influences. ... could be likened to ambient techno... but with lots of guitar... Through dark textures and spacey psychedelic excursions, the album ends on a soaring note... reminded me of some of the bright, upbeat kind of playing heard from Hawkwind in the early '80's... I'm sure it won't be long before we hear more from this Yorkshire space rocker.' 'This is an album chock full of instrumental delights, all originating in classic acid and space rock. My own favourite is the shimmering Out of Body, which is exquisite psychedelia... a delight.' '...original and varied. Nog is a talented guitar player, and the stuff works in other ways as well. Great psychedelic tracks...marvellous...dreamy... worth checking out if you're interested in instrumental, psychedelic, underground space rock' 'A splendid space-rock album, blending Porcupine Tree and Hawkwind elements into a timeless musical vortex. Hawke Rating: 4/5' 'Brilliant and an indispensable work, highly recommendable.' 'A beautiful, multi-layered, purely instrumental spacerock piece...' 'With heaps of soaring guitar, sequencers, synths and driving bass, the music certainly moves in all the right directions'
