Tarik O'Regan's contemplative version of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is one arrangement not to be missed.
Philip Reed, Choir & Organ, 01 November 2011

The multi-layered effects put down by Lang create the impression of a multitude of voices rising from the graves, difting in from a distant past, and calling us to eternal rest. Strange but effective.
Guaranteed you will not recognize Swing Low, Sweet Chariot under the hands of Tarik O'Regan. But that's a good thing. He's managed to create a totally new version of an old standard that markes you hear its famous lyrics in a new light, with rich harmonies that entice the soul to reflect and ponder.
Jean-Yves Duperron, Classical Music Sentinel, 14 September 2011
