''A Doll's House' is a collection of mostly short (two- to six-minute) and refreshingly varied pieces by British composers born between 1943 and 1973, commissioned and performed by the percussion quartet Ensemble Bash now celebrating its twentieth anniversary. Their crisp precision and commitment to each work is abetted by vividly close-up and detailed engineering plus rapid DJ-like segues between selections that create a seamless, sustained programme' (Gramophone)

'This selection of new works for percussion ensemble offers a myriad different directions, several more refined and delicate than you'd expect from music. made by bashing. Howard Skempton's 'Slip-stream', for instance, is the most restrained of percussive duets, with vibes and glockenspiel twinkling delicately over shimmering cymbal, while. Peter McGarr's 'Sound Asleep' employs wind and string instruments alongside a wide range of percussion for a shifting evocation of a dreamscape. The longest piece is Keith Tippett's absorbing 'Dance Of The Dragonfly', a jittery work whose long pauses, punctuated by sudden rapid bursts of activity, skilfully evokes its insect subject's brief but dazzling life' (The Independent)
