“Epic opening track ‘Revolution 2009′ unfurls itself from the kind of grandiose, synthetic orchestral fanfare that would put the likes of Orbital to shame, shortly before locking down into dark throbbing synths and punching electro rhythms(...).”
Chris Downton - Cyclic Defrost
“The electronic beat, geniously placed hooks, IAMX style rocking and the vision of a perfect party sounds holding all this together create an album, which can be called a modern classic.”
Mika Roth - Noise.fi
“It's time to get your rocks off now as Roshi gets wild with a low-swung groove that would befriend the most ardant of guitar fans while mantaining strong roots on the dancefloor.”
