Jeff Melton writes on the Expose Progressive Music site about Cinematik's 2002 release, "Home grown rock and roll products usually have a lifespan of their own which explains in part what Cinematik is about. Drummer Neal Smith's resume includes stints as the former skin beater for the golden era of the Alice Cooper Band (later with Wendy O. Williams in the Plasmatics). The rest of the trio is guitarist Robert Mitchell and bassist Peter Catucci who hail from previous stints in local Connecticut regional acts. The trio's most recent studio recording is One Full Moon Away, a collection of esoteric roots rock and attitude. Robert Mitchell's lead guitar on the disc opener, "Incognito" sets an SRV-like tone for his moody blues outing together with accompaniment from saxophonist Klyph Johnson. Other tracks include "Frozen" which relies on an acoustic guitar setting with a shuffle drum part from Smith. "Digga Doom" uses an open tuning together with a sitar guitar to establish a compelling groove. "Murder in the Moon" is the trio's most ambient endeavor as looped feedback sets the tone for another shuffle groove mode the trio finds easily."
