From reviews of ‘The Tune the Old Cow Died of' (GR 2012):

“They have some great sounds, strong ideas about juxtaposition, and use them in a very winning way… Whilst not setting themselves up as 'proper' experimenters along the order of Luc Ferrari or Bernard Parmegiani, this duo can often be more bold or daring than any establishment electro-acoustic musician." - Ed Pinsent, Sound Projector

“Together they splice real life audio recordings into small radio plays… Tramps on a bench, the music outside a disco or a walk in the snow. But these real life recordings have been altered, changed and added to, so that a small musical story becomes alive …small fascinating journeys.” - Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly
