Steamin’ is remarkably vivid in its atmospheric portrait of the clank of couplings, grind of wheel on rail and momentum of pistons, Batchelor effectively capturing a sense of fun at the same time.

...[an] engaging simulation of steam locomotion...
- Extract from CD review of Live from State of the Nation 2001 by Richard Whitehouse, Gramophone magazine, Sept 2002

...a "Night Mail" for the 21st-century -- it quite literally generates a good head of steam.
