TEXTURA.ORG REVIEW of "Look Back With Knife" "...If Joe Zawinul and Bootsy Collins were abducted by aliens, transported to Saturn, and commanded to instruct the planet's inhabitants in the fine art of jazz-funk, the results might sound much like the 23rd-century Weather Report-meets-James Brown space jazz that appears throughout the (release).” Low Res' new project "Suite Crude Revue" New CD "Suite Crude: Space Age Gutbucket Afrodelic Jazzploitation" now shipping ~ Click the matchbooks to order
What could be more advanced than merging binary and orchestral sophistication with sonority and venture to result in exhilarated Web Age Neo Exotica on an incalculable level to raise the bar to spiralling heights? The accentuation of novelty in progressiveness makes me feel comfortably psychedelic. The dazzling array of notes equals the colossal sum of permanent energy. The tropical flow by Low Res will ever reflect my favourite affection of escapism.

Of "Blue Ramen", Grooves Magazine wrote:
"Blue Ramen is a remarkable recording, not only because it's the work of one artist (DZ) composing the weirdest sort of jazz, salsa, bar-room bossanova, and all points between while eschewing the use of samples, but also because it uses only electronic instruments to create an impression of a full ensemble at work. It's sso throroughly composed to the point where anality is transcended. Not long into the album, suspension of disbelief is reached, where it's necessary to listen so hard to find the programming as to be nearly futile. Once the initial shock at the cleverness on hand from Low Res is overcome, the next issue is the music, which swings, grooves, and wobbles all over the shop, with an incredible amount of apparent improvisation on hand to keep the illusion of the virtual group jamming its souls out intact. ...Zelonky's variety and sheer attention to every nuance and tone is more than a little overwhelming at times. ... Extremely clever, but in need of time and distance to appreciate its finer points and pleasures fully, of which there are many more than a few. - Richard Fontenoy
