it might be time to just call sasu ripatti an iconoclast and be done with it. (stylus)
searching for the fragile and sensual, the album counts on more than few occasions where the new ground is found. evolving from the norm to offer a tonic treatment not heard yet on other luomo albums (...) some of the songs could be chart-hitting hyper-pop if so wanted but in luomo world they turn into original and experimental beauty few dare to make, or can think of. (soulseduction.com)
if you want pristine streamlining, go kompakt. if you want smart cacophony, hit villalobos. but if you was to hear just how interestingly dance drums can be produced, luomo has always had your number. (cokemachineglow)
house music that filters vocals through space-age parabolics. house music that transcends the dancefloor and leaps into your eardrums. house music will never be the same, until he returns, again. (ear-rational.com)
ripatti slowly rolls out a trembling, chunky blob of electricity marbled by dubby delay ripples (...) the general mood of paper tigers is largely set: a clean, almost sanitized clutter of particles that morph into gas, solid or liquid at random intervals. (dustedmagazine.com)
luomo widens the appeal of a dance genre by mining a vein of attractive melody, unafraid of dance music’s ability to please the ear. paper tigers quiet, complex experiments show an artist extremely serious about his work. it’s an added bonus that it’s a splintering, disorienting treat to listen to, as well.

An artistic event of techno music and video art performance in the heart of Milan, with the contribution of Box Vision And Galleria Meravigli. The location is very significant being in the historical part of Milan with its typical architecture and charm, it will be a night in which all the positive energy will be released in a city which is often closed to young people and there expressive necessities. The colors of the night and the appropriation of the city center by the youth culture will push aside the greyness and the disturbing chaos that are king during the day. We will once again get together by the "sacred fire" listening and dancing to the rhythm of the drums!

Reinterpretation turned to be extremely entertaining – as we can see, in the work were engaged the young as well as already eminent musicians. As the result they made Talking to Ghosts an original alloy of very viscous, deep ambient with soft and warm glitch. Pi Micron, Soundproector
