"Seahorse Serenade is understated, gentle, and haunting. It shares the timeless quality of the Vangelis' 'La Petite Fille de la Mer' while still being an original piece of work. An exquisite gem.’’ ‘’The Elevator Paradox is really cool.’’ ‘’Late Night Memories of Blue - Dig the keyboard sound. Nice peaceful, mystical vibe in a blues context.’’ ‘’Images of a Childhood that Never Was - What an evocative title. Love the LFO driven sounds. I really like the warbly sounds. Interesting move to go from the dark spacey vibe to the kidlike piano motif. Really clever.’’ ‘’Tanzen in der Kathederale - I could picture this as a soundtrack to something. The organ was great on this.’’ ‘’The sound palette for Azimuth (my favourite track) was amazing.’’ ‘’Loved the simple haunting beauty of Seahorse.’’ ‘’I just took "Echoes of Neon" for a spin, and it's definitely got Vangelis vibes aplenty, particularly those piano melodies. It's has a light touch, but still manages to carry plenty of dynamic variation throughout.’’ ‘’All I really have to say is great work! Each track tells a story and though some have similarities all are unique.’’
