"Listening to Zyzzybalubah's music puts me in my happy place. It reminds me of the soundtrack to my dreams, in which i would walk upon rainbows and look down on a busy town full of little people, then fly a rocket ship to the moon to have tea with extraterrestrials." - freethebirds
"Like new flavors of candy in a melting neon store made just for trippers and other strange and unusual coffee drinkers. The artist Zyzzybalubah has an entire menu of scrumptious music at your findertips. His mixtures of sounds are beyond the commercial meditational crap your Mom gets for her indoor waterfall. This stuff is for serious mind alteration and nightime balloon rides. Not many can get as deep into the recording tracks like this artist can. If your looking for something MORE check out what this dudes got up for sale in his virtual store. You won't regret it!" - Luveiathan & the L.P.O.A.
"Zyzzy has a style of music thats unexplainable. No matter what mood you're in, his music just makes you float into an infinite space while the brightest, most amazing colors engulf you. All of his different projects vary from sound quite a bit but they're all equally amazing. Zyzzy is something you can always enjoy, no matter what you're doing or how you're feeling. Welcome to the world which is Zyzzybalubah!" - Evan.
"Zyzzybalubah is a playground where instruments play around in ridiculous ways to create their own fantasy world of psychedelic imagery." - Paul (from Paper Mulberries)
"Zyzzybalubah is the harmony that I perceive within the background of my imaginings. In these imaginings, I am but a translucent figure dancing in a great forest of vibrant colors and pixels, and every creature beside me is upside down and inside out." - Joel Davis
"Zyzzybalubah brings a whole new perspective to music... Psychedelic, meaningful, you just can't get enough. Every time you listen to the CD, you get a new meaning from each song in your mind. Its like a crazy mind adventure." - Cody
Nick Gathany aka Zyzzybalubah is a sonic explorer. A pioneer of the vast landscape of infinite possibility in recorded sound.

"You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken - unspeakable! - fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, and all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse - a little tiny mouse! - of thought appears in the room and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic." -- Quote From A Possible Dictator Himself
