About the first album "shhh..."
…a track from shhh called 'Mathematics' that is just one of the strongest and most incendiary electronic openers I've heard in ages with initial boinging electronics moving on top of some slow but seriously thundery electronic drum beats as the voice sample intones, squalling synth layers are added slowly and the beefy rhythms rise up to become positively nuclear, the whole soundscape having you absolutely riveted. Stunning!
C & D
You can hear the influence of the likes of Meat Beat Manifesto and Future Sound Of London on tracks like "On A Nervous Fringe" by shhh..., and "The Thief" sounds like Metalheadz-style drum'n'bass in parts, although the track as a whole refuses to stay comfortably under that or any other easy label.

“...fabuloso projecto de música electrónica.”
industrialpt.net
Electro-noise and in-your-face-breakbeat specialist shhh... presents its listener with a somewhat convincing and certainly abrasive portrait of what thick and crunchy breakcore should strive to be. shhh... excels in alternating hard, driving electro and drum & bass beats with interludes of quiet, nail-biting introspection and strained atmospherics. Slow builds ("Twist & Wait") interspersed with catchy samples ("Six Percent"), nicely executed, paranoid electro lines and sticky acid bass growls ("On a Nervous Fringe" and "The Thief") characterize the album's style.

”...the beautiful Mathematics”
Magazine D-Side, France
“...batidas fortes, camadas de samples que se entrecruzam e interpenetram dando corpo a uma electrónica impossível de catalogar e de díficil digestão para ouvidos poucos habituados a trabalhos que recusam cair no óbvio e que rejeitam enfileirar com modas, mais ou menos, passageiras. shhh... é actualmente, apenas e só, um dos melhores três ou quatro projectos electrónicos a actuar a partir de Portugal.”
