“An exuberant blast of metal fireworks!”

-Anne Midgette, The New York Times, November 19, 2004

"An intoxicating tone of wave-like rhythms and ringing sonoroties... A cross-cultural, color-rich mix of mesmeric gamelan resonance and rock drama!"

-Bradley Bambarger, Newark Star-Ledger, November 15, 2004

“Sparkling interplay… rocking rhythms accelerating into loud, agitated breaks and complicated counterpoint.”

- Boston Phoenix, December 1999

“30 strong players… relentlessly pounded and hammered on gangsa, reong, jegogan, gong and kendang. Unfamiliar with the performance but strangely drawn into it, the audience froze in their seats. ‘I don't want it to end…’”

- Jakarta Post, July 2004
