Martin Birke interviewed in Tribe4mian : Tribe4mian
" Genre Peak has seriously evolved with the new album "Preternatural", a very coherent and intelligent release. The mix of ambient components and low tempo rhythms has been well executed. The diversity of the atmospheres running through "Preternatural" is another important facet here...." - SIDE-LINE Magazine
"...
In my own opinion this album will appeal to those with eclectic tastes. If you like your post night-out chill music then Preternatural is a good one.
If you're looking for something to chill out to after a night on the tiles, and fancy something moby-esque, then consider this album. Preternaturally, nicely done."
- Glasswerk UK
" Genre Peak’s Preternatural is an interesting and entertaining mix of electronica and alternative.The synthesizers are great and so is the percussion.This is something to listen to if you want to hear something very different than what is on MTV or the radio. "
- The Celebrity Cafe
