“(…) Live in Europe is like a large-scale camouflage, many things are not as they seem. Turns are made, the listeners are lured onto false trails. In any case, we are dealing with musicians here who you have to keep an eye on. Absolutely exciting.” – Martin Schray, April 17th 2024, The Freejazz Collective
“(…)Throughout both long sets, the integrity of the statement is maintained, which is the hallmark of good improvisational music. An excellent release, and, most importantly and surprisingly, after an hour and a half of listening, I want to hear the continuation as soon as possible.” – Ilya Belorukov, March 2024, Jazzist
