“Mind-mangling Crimson-meets-Nucleus wig-out from Brighton’s new prog adventurers. Watch for their head-shredding, fusion-heavy debut” – MOJO
“The fleeting organs on tracks ‘Pact’ and the punning ‘Semi Permeable Men-brain’ are as unpredictable and delicate as those found on Miles Davis’ ‘In A Silent Way’, while the vocals on ‘Child of The Thunder Cloud’ tap sparingly into the same vein as folk-rock royalty Pentangle. This is prog, dude, but not as we know it.” – NME
“There’s a maxim that if a reviewer calls something pretentious, he doesn’t understand it. But there’s a lot to be said for a little pretension. It results in barking jazz-rock albums, for starters. Which brings us to DIAGONAL. The Brighton based seven-piece don’t mess around. Sane people need not apply.” - CLASH
“DIAGONAL’s debut is like stepping back to a time when Krautrock was the coolest thing in town, Jon Hiseman’s Colosseum were packing them in and Hawkwind-style cosmic jams were the order of the day. It’s a proggers’ delight.” – CLASSIC ROCK
“Looks like it’s finally safe to leap back down the rabbit-hole of Prog. Quite interesting.” – UNCUT
