Steve Nardelli tells me on October 12, 2008 that: "Joe Whalen of WHPC 90.3 FM sent me this unsolicited email regarding Reasons & Rituals. I share it because Joe is a well known prog radio show host in New York with great taste and knowledge of music:

Hey Steve.. Just listened to Reasons & Rituals in its entirety & will
surely do so many more times & burn it to disc. I hope this track
will have a lasting home on the new album. It needs a solid sanctuary
beyond the internet, I feel.. (Steve Sykes Nova was very together with
you & I would have paid for a similar chance to duet with you!) This
is a kick-ass track, full of all your core values & enthusiasm for
living, powerful & solid in its presence, & complete with many clever
melodic twists & key modulations that add to its power & immediacy.
This track rocks, Steve. Very impressive indeed. ROCK ON !!!
