“Set up by Carlo Van Putten and Adrian Borland (The Sound), the band released some great albums which were proof that there was life after The Sound. When Adrian passed away, it seemed as if the band was doomed to disappear but Carlo found help from longtime friend Rob Keijzer and Frank Weyzig who used to be in the primal line up from Clan Of Xymox and of course his own band Born For Bliss. This cd is a live registration from a show at the Gallerie Message in Monchengladbach. It’s a great album and in a way the live recordings seem to dig deeper, more naked and more touching. After each song you hear Carlo say something in bad German but these are words for respect they share for both their audience and their mentor who is staring upon them somewhere in heaven, realizing that some current artists still cherish his anthems as this album features one of the most beautiful songs he has ever written, ‘Silent air’ and that might be the two words that capture this album: breathtaking…”

— Didier Becu, Review - live album - "Spinning Webs at Night" in online 'peek-a-boo-magazine'

“The ghostly darkness evoked by the fourth release of the White Rose Transmission, a project where the glittering creative wit and whimsical poetry by Carlo Von Putten (member of Dead Guitars) and Adrian Borland, the late lamented soul of The Sound whose warm shadow's still casted onto this band's music, on this occasion supported by the musical skills by ex-Clan of Xymox guitarist Frank Weyzig and Rob Keijzer, is able to haunt listener's ear just like a web crafted by an expert spider. Intense guitar lines are enriched by piano touches and backing vocals, both of them being elements highlighting the pathos of the whole album and I can easily imagine Adrian's nodding at these guys when he magically reappears in Foreign Land, an edited and re-arranged version of Love Is Such A Foreign Land, a track issued on Adrian's last somewhat prophetical album The Last Days Of The Rain Machine. It's like he lives again' ”

— Vito Camarretta , English review 'Spiders in the Mind Web' on Chain D.L.K

“White Rose Transmission is best known as the collaboration between Carlo van Putten (Dead Guitars) and Adrian Borland (The Sound) until Adrian's untimely death in 1999. Spiders In The Mind Web is chapter number four of White Rose Transmission and is now augmented by Frank Weyzig (Born For Bliss, ex-Clan Of Xymox) and Rob Keijzer. The result is a sober album in a singer-songwriter manner with a strong emphasis on (acoustic) guitar and vocals with added touches of bass, piano, percussion and keyboards. A brittle, shadowy atmosphere is radiated throughout the album with "Wildest horses" and "Glittering green" as the, arguably, most alluring songs. Adrian Borland is hailed with the inclusion of "Foreign land" that features Adrian on vocals. It is an edited and re-arranged version of "Love is such a foreign land". With Spiders In The Mind Web the legacy of White Rose Transmission and Adrian Borland is continued and preserved with care.”

— Nightporter, English review "Spiders in the Mind Web' on Gothronic.com

“Die Sterne funkeln. Die kleine Wohnung wird nur von einer kleinen Kerze beleuchtet, die auf einem kleinen, alten Tisch steht. In dieser Enge müssen solche Songs entstehen, wie sie White Rose Transmission machen. Denn diese Stücke sind groß und weit, wie das sternenfunkelnde Firmament. Die musikalische Kollaboration von Dead Guitars Sänger Carlo Von Putten hat dieses Mal besonders schöne Früchte getragen. Schon mit "Love Or Just Loveless" entführt uns die Band in eine Innerlichkeit, die eine ungefilterte, ehrliche Emotion heraufbeschwört. Es dominieren hauptsächlich akustische Gitarren, melodiöse Pianolinien und wohlschmeichelnde Streicherarrangements als Unterfütterung der Stücke. Gänseehaut pur, wie auf ein Blick einer verblaßten Fotografie. Und gefühlvoll wie alles auf "Spiders In The Mind Web".”

— Nuuc, German review "Spiders in the Mind Web' on Elektrauma

“WRT-Gründer und -Sänger Carlo van Putten (The Convent, Dead Guitars) hat neben Gitarrist Rob Keijzer mit Frank Weyzig einen weiteren dauerhaften Mitstreiter gefunden. Der Multiinstrumentalist, der sonst bei Clan Of Xymox oder Born For Bliss tätig ist, bringt dank dezentem Synthesizer-Einsatz Spannung ins Klangbild. Wirklich beeindruckend ist, was er aus Foreign Land gemacht hat. Diese Nummer stammt im Gegensatz zum restlichen Material nicht aus den aktuellen Sessions der drei Niederländer, sondern von Adrian Borland. Foreign Land ist eines der vielen Demos, die er hinterließ. Weyzig hat jetzt ein finales Arrangement dazugefügt und so diesem großartigen Musiker posthum wieder mit ins Boot geholt. Nicht nur eine schöne Geste, auch musikalisch ein weiser Entschluss, der eben ein Bogen zu den Anfangstagen schlägt. Spiders In The Mind Web ist ein Album, das auch jene, die nicht die New Wave-Vergangenheit der Beteiligten schätzen, überzeugen sollte.”

— Lars Fischer, German review "Spiders in the Mind Web" on germanrock.de

“Mit „Spiders In The Mind Web", endlich ihr viertes Werk in die Plattenläden. Insgesamt befinden sich 12 neue handgemachte Stücke auf dem Longplayer, welche nur darauf warten erhört zu werden. Schon der erste Song „Love Or Just Loveless", beginnt mit einem tollem Gitarrenspiel und wunderschönem ruhigem starken Gesang des Sängers Carlo van Putten. Dies zieht sich weiter durch die restlichen Lieder. Des Weiteren kommen noch Keyboard-Klänge und Drums bei einigen Tracks hinzu, was wirklich wunderbar zusammen harmoniert. „Lifeboat" beginnt mit Sprechgesang und sanften Gitarrenklängen, was sehr beruhigend wirkt. Der Titeltrack „Spiders In The Mind Web", ist auch noch einmal ein erwähnenswertes Stück, welches aus schönen Schlagzeug Beats, angenehmen Melodien und rauen aussagekräftigen Vocals besteht. Eine gelungene handgemachte, akustische Platte, mit schönen beruhigenden Vocals. Alle Stücke haben etwas ganz Besonderes und somit kommt definitiv auch keine Langweile auf.”
