“I greatly enjoyed (…) especially Surak’s dynamic interaction with Janek’s full bass sound. He provides the music’s bottom end, whereas Surak’s cuts his way with a diverse musical material.” (Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly on Delphi)

“Intricate, alien and unique. The musicians are communicating and listening intently – in a fascinating language of slippery and ecstatic sound.” (Richard Sanderson on cocktail party)
