NEW ALBUM RECEIVED 5/5 REVIEW IN R2 MAGAZINE UK !
"Longital have made an album that is the sound of true creative freedom. They have found the point where the spirit of childhood invention is not compromised by and lost to adult consideration. Teraz looks nowhere for inspiration other than inwardly to the very moment of creation, and then it tries to maintain that precious moment for as long as possible. This is the music of life with the hot red blood of passion for living pumping through its heart. I’ve listened to Teraz over and over again but I recognise not a single note or idea I have heard before. This music is not of the past and neither is it of the future. This is music of the moment. Teraz is the Slovakian word for ‘now’." (Eddie Cooney, R2 magazine UK 1/2011, Continental drift column)

Voices, guitars, bows, Lemur Jazz Mutant. Eastern wind. East Beat. Slavic wave. Best festival so far? SXSW Austin.
