“The Magneto Flobe should get top billing at any anti-war rally. Carrying the love-in torch of The Dead and The Beatles this troupe's rootsy music slides right in under the epidermal layer to become part of the listener's skin. Needs me a new "Cuddly Toy."”

Howard Lawrence, Rolling Stoned Magazine
“...the lovely Mademoiselle (Oliver Twist)...sometimes simple is SO much more! This is a new genre of music called chill-country...”

Kappi (German Axe Slinger), Deutsche Bad Ass Magazine
“Damn, QT! How you gonna turn down the Flobe's "Ain't No Sunshine?!" It's even got the Morricone whistle in it. This is truly a coolio Django version. And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...you nailed this sucker!”
—
Howard Lawrence, Cat Fancy
“With a sound straight out of a different, distant world--or ours far in the past--da boi lead his army of mellow magicians into soulful, jazzy terrain with every song. "Too Much Passion" is speaking the elusive truths today. Sucks me right in.”
—
Howard Lawrence, The Harvard Review
“We're All The Way..sunny-sunny, ear candy,sweet song...awesome mood-vocals/melody... Puts a smile on my face!!!!!”

—
Sonia Isabelle, Italian Downbeat Magazine
"We're All The Way" shows the Flobe doing its typical trippy Americana to perfection. I can feel the rain. Magnetic music. Carrying the Dead's torch with smooth, soothing eloquence.
—
Howard Lawrence, Flobe Fancy Magazine
“We're all the way ... fantastic version. Vocals are superb as always, the tuba fits the rhythm track so nicely and those flobo strobo guitar sounds are also sweet. Give me a beach to sit down and a long drink and consider the message. We could go wherever we should be... what a nice dream.”
—
Kappi, German Bad Ass Guitarist

—
Roberto "Lil Monk" Cordero, Downbeat Magazine
“This music is Flobe-ulous, Flobe-ilicious and Flobe-tastic! "Some Boys" is a thing of beauty, "Droppin' Rain" brings the Austin groove and a great guitar sound. "Winchester Cathedral" is a Beatle-esque gem...coulda filled one of those holes in the Albert Hall...”
—
Howard Lawrence, Cat Fancy
“I absolutely adore Winchester Cathedral, it's got exactly right mix of humor and respect that I love...”
—
Tomas Reinerson, Bad Ass Swede Magazine
“Was looking forward to the Gatsby remake, but how can anyone reject "Winchester Cathedral?" Bad judgment in the music department doesn't bode well for the flick. Cool tune that Fitzgerald would have been humming in an apparent drunken stupor.”
—
Howard Lawrence, Cat Fancy
“Only, the one-and-only, derinho, and his able assistant, Mr. D'Bootsy, could have put this mini masterpiece of joy together.... truly delightful...”
