"Timeless! Admirable!" 10/10- CueMix Magazine/Germany

"Seductive electronics from gen;lon - easily one of the most inside records from Norway's Jazzland label in a number of years. The record's got a warm glow that's very nice--slightly jazzy in it's conception, but often with an approach that's spacier and more soundscape-oriented - like some of the best chilled out releases from the European underground at the end of the 90s." -Dusty Groove/US

"The ideal album for iPod" - Nordische Musik.de/Germany

"Album Of The Week" - Eldorado/Swedish National Radio
