notes
"On very rare occasions you hear an album that's really different. The tunes stick in the mind. When this happens you know you have something special... thay have definately released something special. This is a high quality album, not just by a high quality band but by a high quality British band... If you have to categorize this album, store it in the rack between Shooglenifty and EII. But I can guarantee that it won't be on the shelf for long."
Shreds & Patches
"Oh joy of joys!... it is the best recording so far by any British band playing bluegrass based music. This CD is a favourite in our house... treat yourself to a copy.

British Bluegrass News
"Evolution is the only way for any music to remain valid and with "Clark's Secret", Bath based outfit Daily Planet have produced a startlingly good album, taking bluegrass to hitherto unknown territory, without losing sight of its roots... they proceed to stamp their unique identity, which ably demonstrates their instrumental prowess, quirky humour and obvious love of the music, on the music... There aren't really any comparisons to be drawn but, overall, there are echoes of another band of groundbreaking outlaws - Scotland's Shooglenifty."
Taplas
"Extremely able and very competent... trading in authentic and suitably upbeat bluegrass laced with just enough originality and plenty of spirit, they should build up a reputation for quality if the evidence on "Clark's Secret" is anything to go by... A refreshing and consistently delightful little disc."
Rock And Reel
"Excellent musicianship with inventive arrangements... this album has everything going for it... this album should bring them to the notice of the wider audience that they deserve.
