"I am a dancer who has had the opportunity to perform in this ballet version of Where the Wild Things Are. The music fits the story perfectly. Elecronic noises and jazzy beats create a surreal atmosphere that whisks you away deep into the land of the Wild Things. If you ever have the opportunity to see this contemporary ballet I highly recommend it. The music alone is interesting and well worth a listen."
Where the Wild Things Are is Wild Fun

"This is an example of the kind of exciting, original and fun music that I hope this period of music history is remembered for. I have not stopped listening to this CD since I got it. It is wild and beautiful from top to bottom with enough wit and melody to keep my toes tapping and enough complexity to keep my analytical composer's ears busy with something new each time. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who ever loved Where the Wild Things Are, as it is a really exciting way to revisit the story. I would recommend any of Randall Woolf's music to everyone, everything of his that I have heard has left me craving more, it is accessible to all listeners simultaneously and its very fresh, very today."
