"Samuel offers lengthy instrumental compositions frequently in the manner of Manuel Göttsching/Ashra, Agitation Free and the Berlin School vintage masters, all peppered with unpredictable direction changes and an eclectic diversity, as well as an emerging voice all his own." (Aussie-Byrd-Brother, Progarchives)
"Not weird nor queer but gorgeous and attractive melodic repetitions of his creation remind me of an Italian delightful electronic obscurity 'Midnight In Space' by Hydrus." (DamoXt7942, Progarchives)
"My first impressions are ones of joy: joy for the fact that another young modern artist is interested in picking up where the masters of the 1970s like Edgar Froese, Klaus Schulze, and Manuel Göttsching left off; joy for the fact that this artist wants to use guitars, bass and drums in his creations; joy that the artist sees the blending of various sections into one cohesive whole as a desirable creative expression; and joy that this artist is quite serious in his study and respect of the techniques and songs that came before him." (BrufordFreak, Progarchives)
"Bringing the lush soundscapes of the 70s into full retro revival with the suave sophistication of Tangerine Dream's arty drifting from one soundscape to the next along with catchy hooky melodies that reverberate into psychedelic hypnosis." (siLLy puPPy, Progarchives)

Nice variety of sounds on this one. It's got some ZEIT in there and some driving rhythms, quiet reflective moments and big beats. Greasy is a beaut. Robert Wallace
