Sounds Like"This lovely compilation speaks much of the innocence and melancholy that props up perfect pop. " (Bot Pop Vol.1)
The Guardian

"You two are so good... that you're TOO GOOD for mere music! You must bring me along in some capacity on your upcoming world tour... or at least let me sit with you at the Academy Awards... something!"
The Units

"Brilliant!"
The Passions

"Singing odes to the stars."
20 Jazz Funk Greats

"All the joy of Mint Royale's 'Don't Falter' with even more analogue invention."
"Early '80's computer game bleeps kick start an insanely catchy analogue intro with perfect English Rose Donna Grimaldi delivering lines much like Sarah Nixey of Black Box Recorder."
Electronically Yours

"If Lily Cole and Bagpuss cross-bred in the machine from 'The Fly' and the resulting human / cat mash-up was let loose on a Korg and a laptop, this is the music it would make!"
Happy Robots

"First class future- retro sounds."
Thomas Thyssen, Gothic Magazine

"A pure, delectable stomper of a pop tune- not a note wasted- and far too good to remain hidden for much longer. An uplifting tune that works instantly and it's all rather brilliant and fun....Katsen's lead singer Donna Grimaldi looks like a pop star in waiting with a sharp Swing Out Sister haircut and some very posh English vocals."
Electronically Yours

"Pure and perfect 8- bit electro pop."
Miss Pain

" I think it's brilliant... amazing, even! Christopher and Donna exude a fun (and even adorable if I do say so) energy that helps make Katsen one of my favorite electro newcomers..."
Computer Love

"The austere clinical throb of early career Client-esque / Ladytron death disco, the wiring punk pop of Winterbrief and the synth pop panache of the Buggles and New Musik all converge and intersect. Dizzily effervescent, a tad panic stricken and as catchy as swine flu, its hooks and dinky demeanour are alone more than enough to send various kitchen appliances into untold rapture while simultaneously arresting your senses with its precocious pop shocked zeal."
Losing Today Blog

"Casio/Gameboy/8 Bitpop furious."
Bleek Spook Blog

"This is what we've been missing for such a long time, beautiful pop music. This is as good as it gets. More beautiful than love, Katsen is love... Katsen is the solution to everything... long live Katsen!!!!!!"
Mr. Blue

Alternative Album of the Week"
Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 1

"Song Of The Week: Katsen 'Florian'"
Electronically Yours

"Dizzily effervescent and as catchy as swine flu"
Losing today

"They are a duo who take the best of the darker side of 80’s electronica, deconstruct it and produce perfect futuristic D.I.Y, pop noir."
Vip Pip Musical Express

"At its heart this is pop music and their effects are used to amplify rather than swamp the tunes, sometimes to heartburstingly lovely effect."
Sounds XP

"It’s full of variation, from the frenetic kraut-inspired opener, Let’s build a City, to the incrediby beautiful hypnotic end track Florian."
Eardrums Music

"Incredibly, with such an ambitious list of ingredients the final result is a sumptuous feast of electronic pudding."
The Music Fix

"Stuffed with both fun & reflective moods & whilst possessing a very high benchmark of quality!"
Norman Records

"A tasty slice of Casio driven electronic pop mixed with more than a healthy dollop of Krautrock."
Indie-MP3

"Conclusive proof that years spent battering away with the sound-chips on a ZX Spectrum can finally yield sparkling results."
Culture Deluxe

Hey,
I (Alice !) just listened to your music and I love it (and I think Bettie would do it, too ;)
That is what I wanted to say. Maybe I'll try to get your CD here in Germany...

So have a nice weekend!

Alice, die schönste Verbindung

Bedsitland is unlikely I'm afraid - it would mean driving to and from London twice in one day. Still, I may suddenly get the uncontrolable urge to spend 5 hours traversing the A13, so you never know! (plus I do really want to go!)

I am a proud owner of a hard copy of your album, and a splendid thing it is too!

;) Not only is the music great, I but am also very keen to get together and discuss printing techniques, 'cause you guys did a fantastic job!

Speak soon, if not Sat x
