“Modest Midget (a clear reference to Gentle Giant) is a fine band that mixes inteligently major Beatle influences, progressive rock and jewish music with great delicacy. A short EP of fifteen minutes, simply charming and infested with good taste, that makes you wish for a prompt release of the full finished album of this good musical project, created by the Argentinean / Israeli composer (at the present - living in the Netherlands) Lionel Ziblat.”
Gustavo Bolasini, Argentina: El Retorno del Gigante – The Return of the Giant radio program 2009
“Modest Midget, to judge from the four songs presented here, has the potential to be a musical dynamo. Casual fans will enjoy the contrast of mellow lush arrangements and high energy. Musicians will love the choices Ziblat makes in his writing, and his ability to brings styles and sounds together you might not have imagined. Partial Exposure is aptly named, but its more than enough to intrigue a whole lot of listeners and leave them asking for more. Well done.”
A 4.5 star review by Wildy Huskell, USA,Wildy’s World 2009
“Modest Midget, Lonny Ziblat’s project, takes us by the hand along diverse landsacpes, atmospheres and musical styles. Modest Midget presents us with a mixture of The Beatles with Frank Zappa, tripping through film and classical music. These styles flow naturaly within each-other. Lonny Ziblat is a composer, arranger, he sings, plays guitar, piano and percussion. A multi-talent."
Arno Hagemans, The Netherlands, Editor of the Dutch television network NCRV 2008
“Stubborn, intangible, surprising. Sounds accessible, but is musicaly / technically above averege.”
The editorial of the Dutch site ‘OngekendTalent’ , announcing the nomination of the band as one of the top 10 bands in the site for 2008. The site includes more than 11,000 different bands and acts.
