Ciro Vel‡zquez, Eufonia (in Spanish)
"Regresa Otso Pakarinen a entregarnos esta nueva aparici—n de Ozone Player en un disco m‡s maduro -quiz‡ haga falta la chispa o bien sea que el primer disco me caus— una impresi—n distinta- pero definitivamente con ese mismo humor, creatividad y sentido de entretener."
Bill Binkelman, WIND and WIRE
"On the other hand, if you want to hear audacious, gutsy, inventive keyboard/guitar/beats instrumentals that never become too avant garde, experimental, or pointless (in other words, you can actually dance to this stuff - or kinda dance, at least!), this recording will open you to a lot of new possibilities of what electronic music is capable of these days."
Monkzek, Progressive Ears
"It is not an immediate "rush" but should provide ample reward to the patient listener."
Roel Steverink, Audion Magazine
"Yes, this is a musical equivalent of Monty Phyton, just listen to Ollism and you hear
the sound of shoes being brushed, wood being sawed and a pom pom voice makes
the surreality complete.
Elias Granillo, Sea Of Tranquility
"The opening track is such a tasty morsel of vibrant EM, that one might say the the rest of the album stuggles to cope. ƒither way, thereÕs not a boring moment to be found on ƒ, so spare no ƒxpense, and add this to your pending ƒlectronic Music purchases list."
Fred Trafton, New Gibraltar Encyclopeadia of Progressive Rock
"Pakarinen has spent a lot of time on this album laboring over innovative samples and synthesizer patches to make the oddest clanks, scrapes and buzzes which are used as the percussion tracks for all the songs. To this he adds a dose of ethnic/world flavorings, and a bunch of '80's techno-pop dance music, and comes up with a really fascinating stew that is sure to maintain your interest."
Carmen PASCUAL, margen Magazine
"Rock progresivo, ambient, cl‡sica, tecno, electroacœstica... cien corrientes
con las que Ozone Player crea y recrea una audaz s’ntesis de t’mbricas
insospechadas y sonoridades rebozadas de af‡n experimental y de gracia. Un
magn’fico disco de escucha absolutamente imprescindible. ÀA quŽ est‡s
esperando para emborrachar tus neuronas con tan delicioso brebaje? A beber
sin ninguna moderaci—n."
Jon Davis, ExposŽ Magazine
"Ozone Player is a deliberately mixed bag, and if you don't like what you hear, just wait a few minutes - it'll sound completely different."
Mark Newman, Progression Magazine
"...it's evident that Pakarinen has a firm hand on what works and what doesn't in electronic music. He also sounds like he is having the time of his life. E is for "endorsed.""
çlvaro M. Rocha
".. it's like a chaos of great ideas organized into a plethora of order with unexpected twists, brilliant production, detailed to the exageration and well worth its price - though not charts material because Otso is light years away..."
D.K. Herpich
"In general, _E_ is much more of a "groove-based" album than Ozone
Player's earlier _Insane Logic_, to the detriment of melodic development
and structural complexity. It's a trait that's in evidence
on more than half of the tracks on _E_, and it's the main reason I
have never enjoyed _E_ nearly as much as _Insane Logic_."
Jim Brenholts
"He does not have "bad hair days." Otso is having a "bad hair life.""
Stephanie Sollow, Progressive World
"Interesting and well done, it's one that may not get stuck to your player, but will invite repeat visits."
