harold nono - "TO THE RIVER LOUNGE" (BS003 - 2007) :

"it delivers in truckloads. A great piece of ambient work. He deserves to have this album truly break into popularity and establish him as a leading artist in his field. " (Bandidge)

"there is an eerily intriguing quality to this album. ...A Marie Celeste-like air of mystery hangs over To The River Lounge, and that's all to the good." (The WIRE)

"light touches of an electronic kind leave hairs on end and ears gently strained... this is a laid back album, with a menacing undercurrent..." (subba-cultcha)

"extremely beautiful and glistening slices of minimalism" (BGN - WHITE_LINE)

"I like this album alot.. it's brilliant.. and you need to own it!" (Something Instrumental)

"Une belle petite découverte que ce To The River Lounge, bande-son sereine pour voyageurs immobiles." (ondefixe + benzinemag)

"It's completely unique and I have never heard anything like this before... a high intensity listen..." (the-mag)

"strange and beautiful ...haunting" (Julie Christensen)

"HAROLD NONO/HIDEKAZU WAKABAYASHI" (BS009 - 2010) :

“Harold Nono/Hidekazu Wakabayashi belongs in any person’s collection that enjoys eclectic electronic/acoustic music in the vein of Brian Eno or Aphex Twin. Nono and Wakabayashi make an excellent duo”. [Musik Reviews]

“a truly beautiful instrumental album” [whisperinandhollerin]

“Faultless” [the Sunday Experience]

"The two musicians play keyboards, guitar, melodica, beat machines and much more, making every single cut an experience of joyous discovery" [DisAgreement]

"‘Family’ features aching guitar lines, plangent piano keys and sublime harmonies. ‘Let’s Go Find Mushrooms’ is one of the more dreamlike offerings that is reminiscent of both Cornelius and The Beach Boys" [Leonards’ Lair]

“its an absolutely fine quality that runs through these songs. Eleven excellent songs, moody, melancholic and sometimes cheerful, an excellent springtime sunday afternoon release” [Vital Weekly]

“The record keeps the balance for the most part with an outrageously timeless charm and introspectiveness” [Audiotier]

"I’m sure odd sprites made of dust floated out of my speakers while I listened to the album - upon the final windy fade-out of Wild Blue Yonder, I turned to see that all the objects in the room had been somehow rolled into a giant ball in the corner…" [Die Shellsuit, Die]

“Wordless poems. No words but no lack of emotion either. Tracks like "Let's Go Find Mushrooms" are curiously evocative and there is an elegant simplicity in the others…” [Bluesbunny] Read more on Last.fm.
