"...the intensity, and the storm whipped up by G For Gnome is one of those that saturates, despite the souâwester and wellington boots...although he doesnât keep it up for long, he does manage to pierce the outer layers, and the inner thoughts, via these three instrumentals. Besides the intensity of these compositions, he also provides the listener with variation and scope to dream a little, although the territory borders on nightmare, so any dreaming might have a razor edge to it. He manages to create three very different âstormsâ within this limited time scale. What he might conjure up on a longer time platform could be very interesting indeed.

â... an intense three song collection â¦commencing with a heavy drone, that will have the neighbours banging on the wall, âI See Them Coming Over the Mountainâ slowly becomes lighter in texture, melodies beginning to whisper out of the speakers as the piece slowly fades. With a slow chiming pulse âEurope 80â is a hypnotic electronic pieceâ¦âThis is Where I'm Atâ, another monolithic revolving drone that draws comparison with Tangerine Dream jamming with My Cat Is An Alien. Stretching over ten minutes, the track hardly varies, allowing time for the listener to get lost inside its floatation tank energies.â Terrascope Online


â a trio of laptop-generated beatless monotone-symphonies that hover menacingly, rather like storm clouds in fact, but just like a rainy day in Watford, the mood doesn't change a great deal - grey, wet and distinctly intense before petering out into nothingâ¦âa sinister assemblage of turntable-scratches, gong and bass drums present on "Europe 80", are woven into a tapestry of three minutes without too much in the way of ever breaking sweat.â Paul Pledger - AllGigs
