Groove Magazine (Germany), January 2009:
Track on the Groove magazine CD, full article in the magazine
"(...) Dance music as a protecting shelter from the outside world- and at the same time as a world-embracing gesture. It is this sparkling clutter of emotions that is so fascinating about glitterbugs music: mourning and euphoria and humor and pathos are becoming one. (...)

Intro Magazine (Germany), October 2008:
"Since this release, one can take electronic music serious again in its claim to want to create parallel universes, a shelter from daily live, a better world, an utopia. (...) Regular black and white schemes don't work to describe this record. Your can better imagine 'Supershelter' like a super complex Japanese manga, in which pathos, humor, mourning and great happiness are intertwined in the most charming matter. (...) The plurality of genres and aesthetics in his music are pure adornment, and one thing is most apparent: Glitterbug fulfills, what for some of his Cologne Kompakt buddies became a bit sterile in the routine of the production process: the 4/4 bass drum is drumming everything together for the really huge longing music. What remains is confusing yet uplifting- and leaves you with a certainty that it still is possible to create an utopia" (Arno Raffeiner)

Groove Magazine (Germany), Album of the Month November 2008:
" (...) 'Supershelter uses the the vocabulary of 15 years of techno... (...) There is almost nothing out there that can surpass this album in its musical complexity- and at the same time it is stringent in a way that is barely ever heard. (...) Despite its epic length of over 77 minutes, it never feels lengthy and even if you listen to this album over and over again, it won't loose any of its magic and intensity (...) 'Supershelter is full of heart-rending moments, and is in the next moment partying close to the edge. (...) We take our hat off before this fantastic music which eludes itself from all current musical stereotypes. (Holger Klein)

Sound&Recording Magazine (Germany), January 2009:
"Till Rohmann aka glitterbug dares things that nobody else before him ever dared, which absolutely eludes him from the masses of producers and productions out there. (...) For example a breakdown like in the track "The Things I Long To Do": the track develops over three minutes abstract-minimal, to then take off into an excursion into expressionist E-Music, as if Debussy and Ravel were hanging out in the studio as well.(...)"

Nowamuzika Magazine (Poland), January 2009:
Place 6 in the 10 best albums of 2008
"Epic techno flirting with totally different genres, from city folk to classical music. Big, powerful sound and incredible atmosphere.”
***
Keys Magazine (Germany), December 2008:
(...) A firework of ideas wich Till Rohmann aka glitterbug lights in front of our eyes! (...) A magical allurement shines through this unbelievably thought through and elaborated music, based on a stable and springy bass fundament. (...) Sound: 10 of 10 points. Music: 10 of 10 points. Grab it!!!"

Sce:Nite Magazine (Germany), October 2008:
"Melodies like the long longed for fire that is warming from the cold, multi layered sound scapes that almost make you drunk, music that can't be cornered, but always is primarily one thing: beautifully melodic. The album of glitterbug aka Till Rohmann is full of intense beauty, whithout leaving the right grooves out of sight. Dreamy years on the dancefloor are guaranteed. An album like greatest cinema in Cinemascope!!!"
Following the great international success of Glitterbug’s album “Supershelter”, everyone has been curious to hear what this unique and unmatched producer will bring us next. And truth is, there is a lot! Glitterbug has been working on piles of new enchanting materials, tracks, projects and remixes.
As a first release in a series that will lead to his next (double CD) album, is the “Dim Flares EP”: a dream-like, intense and deep moody EP that carries that very special Glitterbug sound to a whole new level, touching on deep emotional techno with a utopian 4/4 perspective.
This beautiful EP opens with “So much More”, an epic track that releases its melancholic-euphoric mood slowly over the course of 9 minutes, turning itself into a beautiful, hopeful, hand-raising screamer that floods the dance floor with overwhelming warmth and heartfelt love. Side A ends with “Deadpan”, an intense dark ambient miniature that lets us peak at Glitterbug's world of score-like ambient compositions.
The B-Side begins with “Daubed Beams”, a Deephouse track all Glitterbug. "Daubed Beams" feels like what mid 90's Detroit techno released on Warp would have sounded like: unbelievably deep, pensive, warm, divine and pumping.
c.sides' latest emotive EP culminates with “Be Content”, a warm track with a deep drive of warped pads, a dark bass-line, airy percussion and unforgettable arpeggios. This exhilarating dance track is layered with bottomless emotions, the kind you want to close your eyes to, hug the person dancing next to you and wish it would never ever end.
The "Dim Flares EP" is the first in a series of 3 magnificently moving EP's (by Glitterbug, Christian Löffler, and a collaboration between Glitterbug & Ostgut Ton’s Murat Tepeli) to be released on the c.sides Label in 2009-2010, all leading up to Glitterbug's extraordinary next double album which is currently in the making and will be released in spring 2010.

About Glitterbug’s remix for Mathias Schaffhäuser & Friends’ ‘It’s Just Flesh’ (Ware81, to be released September 7th 2009) in Groove Magazine Germany:
“Glitterbug takes a tightly focused selection of the original elements, incorporates pads that lay somewhere between Dial and Planet E and condenses it more and more to a stealthily evolving anthem. Monstrous!”
