Reviews:

... they develope further their own particular variant on Fripp/Eno's supersonic music style. They use guitar and electronics to creatre a series of sonic sculptures which explore the fringes of ambient sound. (EUROCK 11/94)

... those who prefer setting off on a voyage of discovery through mystical and transcendental soundscapes will quickly realize - to their surprise - that New Age does not necessarily have to be boring. Just what you need for earphone listening on a long winter evening. Turn on the cinema in your head. Let your imagination run wild! (FRANKEN FORUM 2/95)

... unorthodox, avant-garde and mystical soundscapes arise that defy categorization. Parallels can perhaps be drawn to their spiritual and sound related forerunners, David Sylvian, Brian Eno or even Harold Budd. (DOPPELPUNKT 2/95)

... whoever enters this strange sound world will discover a new dimension. (GITARRE & BASS 3/95)

... mysterious, exotic, hypnotic, both close and displeasing. (AMÖBENKLANG 7/99)
