“Die acht Tracks beherrschen das Wechselspiel aus träumerischem Schwelgen und dramatischem Aufruhr. Hier ein Synthesizer wie ein Minimoog, dort ein Flügelhorn. Hier aufgeregter Rock in Opposition wie bei Univers Zéro, dort relaxtes Sich-treiben-lassen. Das Album gleicht einem Soundtrack zu einem Film, der beständig das Genre wechselt: von der Komödie über den Horrorfilm zum Sozialdrama [...]. Ein Song ist so schön wie der andere. Bei all dieser Arrangierkunst glücken der Gruppe auch eingängige Melodien und ebensolche Grooves.”
“The eight tracks master the interplay of dreamy indulgence and dramatic turmoil. At one place a synthesizer like a Minimoog, at another place a flugelhorn. Driving rock versus relaxed drifting. The album is like a soundtrack to a film that constantly changes its genre: from comedy to horror film to social drama [...]. One song is as beautiful as the other. With all this detail in arranging, the group also succeeds in creating catchy melodies and grooves.”
