“The word of the ‚new worlds of sound’ usually picked up in the context of contemporary music is quite worn out, but with Lotz it is entitled.”
“Paris watch out, one of the finest contemporary West African CDs came out of The Netherlands.”
“A fresh, global and oddly beautiful sound!”
“Listening you become aware that some substantial music is being made here.”
“With the very first beat of the CD you already are fully mesmerized. Mark Alban Lotz is the grand master, a great improviser – magnificent solo recital.”
“… you should visit Lop Lop’s Web site last week if not sooner, and pick this up straightaway.”
“55 minutes takes us to an alternative reality, created by music we have never known before.“
“The core duo have a clear rapport and sonic identity marking their abstract improvisations with a frictive astringency.”
“Invigorating and fascinating.”
The concept sounds as natural as birdsong.”
“Music of insistence – away from all trials.”
“This is not just an exotic flirt but a real organic fusion.”
“Fantastic Fulani Fusion. A stellar example of acoustic global fusion from artists at the top of their game.”
“Blues for Yemayá should be looked at as the most successful multicultural project of the nineties.”
“Pure Genius.”
“Penetrating document from the box of two unfortunately – sometimes – unsung geniuses.”
“Flutist Mark Alban Lotz has produced one of the more oddly gorgeous recordings I’ve listened to this year.”
“Sensible virtuosity and disarming sovereignty.
“Musicians who have disregard on conventions are thinly sown. The Netherlands has at least two.”
“World music nowadays is as broad as a continent, but here you find a group who is heading definitely for a new direction. These fourteen tracks take you by surprise.”
“Miles away from convivial Cuban dance music but hitting the essence of Origin.”
“First time out of the mailing envelope, I played the opening, highly Stravinsky-esque ‘Cowboy Game’ eleven times in a row before I went on to the next track.”
“They demonstrate no small amount of ingenuity.”
“An absolute must as it is a real firework in the scanty contemporary music landscape.”
“‘Sirene-like’, hauting music!. Hypnotic as Sirens.”
“A fascinating journey with some of the most unique improvisers on the fertile Dutch scene.”
“Oh, how awesome is this… It’s fun, unpredictable, and loaded with unique sounds … . Very cool.”
“Ça grouille, ça bouille, ça vit.” (This music is slithering and shaking with life.”
“This artist, fine flutist and overall creative genius is redefining the sonic palette of all flutes.”
“They’re going to make some real noise.”
