Reviews of the CD:

"They blow and strew bloom dust and spices of the Orient in the brain and produce hallucinations loaded by camel caravans, with oranges and Datteln.... The Sopranosax sinks itself in arabesque conference area, with Parekeresken trills with talks trifishes. The clay/tone becomes sometimes so rau and serious, as it requires the longing, and pretty often so beautifully that one would like itself to throw into the sand."
-Rigobert Dittmann in Bad Alchemy (Germany)

"Here a disc that succeeds to bind together in way a lot convincing the dimension more in a marked manner improwisativa with a insistita timbrica search in constant balance between jazz, contemporary and ethnic music."
-Vincenzo Giorgio in Wondrous Stories (Italy)

"Inspired music it is."
-Dolf Mulder in Vital (Netherlands)
