Reviews:

Thin Air is a programmatic piece … It is a musical response to a visit to the California Sierras, its three sections – Mountain Goat, Twilight and Paws – are pictorial in various ways and Wolfgang’s experience as a writer of film scores is perhaps one reason why he proves so adept at this exercise.”

Glyn Pursglove, Musicweb-International.com 

“In Thin Air, the soulful lines of Twilight are catchy … ”
