The sIngers of Inversion had a blast workIng through The rhythmic lilt and subtly beautiful harmonies, so often found In Rich Campbell's music. The clever musical Interpretation brought out The wry humor of The text."

The musical style is remIniscent of The 19th century although The piano part does go Into 20th century style syncopation at times.
