This is hugely ambitious and beautifully realised,
neo-classical electronic/organic chamber music with
mellotron (and associated ænaturalÆ tape hiss) at
the centre of much of the action going on.
This is the sound of memory û a psycho-geographical
survey of his British homeland largely dreamt up
when Vic was way out east in Japan.
--The Active Listener

Vic Mars delved into his thoroughly English past
for this release, pulling in vintage British Railway
posters, the composer Gustav Holst and, 1970's
children's television programs. The aesthetic is so
deeply imbued that heÆs even the classic Faber & Faber
typefaceà So, The Land And The Garden is kind of like
English hauntology but without the spooky aspect:
in fact, these pieces are rather lovely.
--Normans Records

A quietly stunning full length from Vic Mars on the
ever-reliable Clay Pipe label. The Land and The
Garden takes a bucolic look at modern composition,
with enticing reed instruments and Moondog-esque
percussive lines weaving an understated poignancy
into the compositions. It's instantly involving, a
record unboastful of its melodic and arrangement
achievements and sitting somewhere between Pascal
Comelade, the afore-mentioned Moondog's most melodic
work and something somehow quintessentially British
and nostalgic, in the best possible way.
--Monorail Records

The first non bandcamp release from Hereford born
musician Vic Mars gives the impression of what the 
still shadowed pastoral of Virgina Astley's of
From Gardens Where We Feel Secure would sound like
if reorchestrated by Belbury Poly.
--The Wire
