Buller's Mime is at once popular and intricate...it is sympathetic music, witty and lyrical and brightly coloured, in the tradition of Stravinsky's Wedding, yet naturally idiosyncratic.' (William Mann, The Times)
To forge from so many apparently disparate ideas a musical language as dense and allusive as that of Joyce himself was a considerable feat, simultaneously mixing elements of music-hall, singing games, and dream.' (Robert Henderson, The Telegraph)
Buller avails himself of musical found objects on lines suggested by Johce's own magpie wealth of reference, and to this now hallowed technique he brings an acute musical ear and a fine perception of the beautiful and the stylistically apt.' (Stephen Walsh, The Observer)
