"I predicted that this would be the best overall show of the last 2 years, then I ammended that by saying it would be the best ever...and I was right on the f*%ing money!!!" - Ray Loboda, NJ Proghouse/NEARfest
"If you've not heard the CD, get it! You'll not be disappointed. If Oblivion Sun get within 200 miles of you - BE THERE! This is the stuff of dreams, my friend." John Wilcox, ProgSheet.com
"The music produced by Oblivion Sun for its debut release is as good, if not better, than anything Happy The Man ever produced, and leaves little doubt that this album belongs among the best releases of 2007." - Mark Newman, Progression Magazine
"If you like classic prog, you'll love this album" - Stephen Fortner, Keyboard Magazine
