The frivolity of the titles, as ever, belies a seriousness of approach, and across these unusual sonic terrains I find enough moments here of intelligent interaction, close encounters if you will, to make this a most unearthly pleasure.
Scott McMillan, The Liminal

This release is an example of a path of research whose objective is to escape the formal cage of the structure and the fear of emptiness of the free form; perhaps it is demanding, because it lacks of some of the familiar traits of experimental music, but has some of its flavours, and it's indeed full of hidden charm.
Andrea Piran, Chain D.L.K.
