"Seductive electronics from gen;lon - easily one of the most inside records from Norway's Jazzland label in a number of years. The record's got a warm glow that's very nice--slightly jazzy in it's conception, but often with an approach that's spacier and more soundscape-oriented - like some of the best chilled out releases from the European underground at the end of the 90s."-Dusty Groove/US
"The ideal album for iPod" - Nordische Musik.de/Germany
"Album Of The Week" - Eldorado/Swedish National Radio
