This is certainly not an album of throwaway material. Some of the music will sound familiar to those who have heard the artist's other work, and the album is more diverse than the other albums which have a recognisable theme running throughout. It's a very enjoyable album in its own right. Well done and many thanks, JT Bruce

It's not that the dustbin word, have here a pertinent meaning in a close adequacy to the context. Naturally, in music, like everything in life, choices have necessarily to be made and preferably, according to a personal view or a pattern more adequate or effective. Choices, imply leftovers... and some of the times, it's not because they're worst... or even worthless. It's occasionally merely a choice made upon the sensation that it does somehow not fit, with the global work's intents or environment. Some other cases, contemplate changes and improvements made by the musicians according to their natural development and improvement effort. And there's always the constant experimenting. In that perspective, I've no doubt that in many cases, we, the audiophiles, lose the opportunity of appreciating some real musical preciosities, because of the musicians reluctance or simply negation, in releasing them even if separately... which, I have to admit, can be quite comprehensible. In this case, obviously, it's a blessing the decision from the musician in releasing this material. Naturally aware of what's included, still I must say that it constitutes a valuable asset. And if in the mind of the musician, the clear notion of all the missing links is a fact inherent, on the other side's perspective, the fateful destiny of this compiled material, even if initially apparently too diversified, is to gain a proper identity, just after a couple of listenings.

I loved J.T.BRUCE's albums when i came here about 2007, and this collection won't change my mind at all...it's mastered, inspired, various, i just can say it's always ok with me!! nice work Mister!! :)

Endlich, nach einer ausgiebigen, kreativen Schaffenspause erreichen neue Schwingungen aus der Künstlerwerkstatt von JT Bruce meine verwöhnten Ohren. Ich war bereits im Begriff, sämtliche Hoffnungen fahren zu lassen, jemals wieder eine Weiterentwicklung des traumgeladenen Werkes von JT Bruce genießen zu können. Der vorliegenden EP entweichen Klänge aus den Jahren 2005 bis 2011 - also nichts da mit Schaffenspause. Eine gewohnt hohen Ansprüchen gerecht werdende breite Palette von Klangfiguren unterschiedlichen Charakters, gespickt mit kleinen Überraschungen, versetzt einen immer wieder in traumverwandte Stimmungen. Ach was soll das geschraubte Gelaber - einfach nur eine ganz geile Musi. Schließlich bin ich durch den Künstler seinerzeit überhaupt auf jamendo aufmerksam geworden. Auch dafür geht mein aller herzlichster Dank nach San Diego. Der AstroBiker

As every album so far my JT Bruce has been, this album just adds to the incredibly long list of great music to listen to on my computer. Particularly the song Retarded Retard is probably the funniest song I have listened to in my life, the first time I was just cracking up during the last minute or so. Thanks again JT Bruce!

...tyle czasu kazał czekać JT Bruce na swoje kolejne produkcje - i przyszło zadowolić się resztkami... Dobrze, że chociaż kilka bonusów do Universicy dał...

Un bon album de rock qui mélange astucieusement les genres avec beaucoup de finesse et de subtilité. Merci à Dom pour la recommandation.
