Jazz Times Aug. 2005 Review of Nebula
"Way back in the dark ages of the late '60s and early '70s, jazz-rock offered listeners the promise of an exciting hybrid that would combine the improvisational prowess and harmonic imagination of jazz with the energy and rhythmic might of rock. That dream has been largely unrealized in subsequent decades, but David Hines and a corps of of musical renegades and genre-benders recall those days with their playing on Nebula. Whether it's Hines delivering flashy and adventurous solos on various basses ranging from a five-string fretless to four- and six string instruments, or special guest Allan Holdsworth adding his own agile licks on "Skippy" and "Antillia", this is classic fare being updated. Other key elements are Steve Hunt's fierce keyboard and piano licks and Steve Kirby's contributions on electric and acoustic guitar. These songs don't just amble along, nor are they dominated by vocalists or diluted by string sections. They are strong musical evidence that there are still some players interested in expanding the concepts pioneered by Miles Davis' electric units and Charles Lloyd,s late '60s bands."

BASS INSIDE MAGAZINE JUNE 2005 issue #21
"With David Hines, the good old days of real fusion are back. Hines is a great player as well and he will make you once more seriously consider tangling with fretless bass. Where the original joy and fascination with intersting tunes and fine playing are evident everywhere, David Hines' Nebula is definitely for you."

"With David Hines' debut Nebula, thereís no shortage of fusion. Hines and his 4 & 6-string fretted and 5-string fretless basses are at the center of it all. Enjoy the music."

"Dave's bass playing is phenomenal. "Nebula" is a truly remarkable debut CD í it showcases both his talent as a bassist, and composer. Every jazz-rock fan who yearns for that delicious fusion of creativity and virtuosity will love it. Nebula transcends imitation without compromise. 100% inspiration! Five stars on this one!*****"

"David Hines Nebula is an indulgence for fans of fusion. The music is jazz fusion at its best. It is no wonder he can lead this pack and command such proficient players. Itís proof positive that David Hines is in the upper echelon of bassists."

"Bassist-composer makes an impressive debut with Nebula... a very auspicious debut from a talent truly deserving of wider recognition. Hines has crafted a true winner here... chockfull of things that hardcore jazz-fusion fans adore. Nebula couldn't come more recommended. A no-holds barred player's project, with harmonically challenging compositions, and virtuosic, over-the-top solos."

"All of the compositions are brilliant..., that essential bridge between symphonic and jazz music, which will lead you to the wonderful (and highly progressive) world of classic Jazz-Fusion. this is one of the best and the most memorable works of the genre I've heard in recent years and is an undoubted candidate to take one of the highest positions in my Top-20-2005. Ultimately recommended."
