"a tremendous set by Akahum"
BBC News
"Takes you back to the chill out vibe but just as you start sinking back into the bean bag it grabs you by the scruff of the neck and shakes you into a shamanic tribal techno thing"
Peppermint Iguana
"This British group plays a mixture of psytrance/dub/space rock/world music and Lord knows what and they have a really groovy, psychedelic touch...an excellent and hypnotic trance atmosphere."
Dj Astro - PsychotropicZone
"Wow, talk about cosmic GROOVES! ... Electro dance beats ... Spaced out salsa ... Dreamy brain massage"
Jerry Kranitz - Aural Innovations Radio, US
"I recommend this CD for those who appreciate world beat and fusion music and who are not shy of dance beats. For a first album, it is a great success. I am curious to see what comes next."
Michel F - Proggnosis
"This kind of psychedelic and adventurous machine music combined with space rock is really enjoyable to my ears. Warmly recommended!"
Dj Astro - PsychotropicZone
"You start to get your head around the fact that you need to expect the unexpected, with bits of funk and dub sneaking in, messing with your mind...By the time you get to the end you have no option but to go back to the beginning to make sure you had not dreamt it all."
Peppermint Iguana
"Euphoric dance and ethnic impulse with lightness and irony transmitting positive feelings"
Giovanni Carta - Arlequins, Italy
