Mick Garlick, Sequences Magazine
"The ten tracks here move in and out of places between reality and
imagination with ease and maximum impact with both darker and lighter sides."
Jim Brenholts
"This is an outstanding CD! Otso has been developing his unique style that combines the Berlin school, synth pop, experimental sounds and subtle - very
subtle - atmospheres."
Andre de Waal, E-dition Magazine
"The one-man band Ozone Player treats us to a nice sample sheet of musical history....The only thing missing is music from the Berliner Schule.
So everyone can find something of his or her liking on this very diverse CD."
Music Extreme
"Pure intense experimentation with great development of the compositions."
Edgar Kogler at Amazing Sounds
"The music is very original, without having to make use of experimentation with radical sounds."
Reginod, Progressive Ears
"Listening to Ozone Player also gives me the impression that certain large-budget film makers might be doing themselves a favor by giving Pakarinen a call."
Bill Binkelman, Wind and Wire
"By allowing his music to occasionally wander over into friendlier accessible territory at times, Pakarinen has not abandoned his muse but merely opened the door wider to allow more listeners access to his solitary vision of contemporary electronic music. I consider this to be his most consistently enjoyable work so far and hope he continues to split his persona between the quirky and the "easy to digest" because the mixture of the two yields some truly tasty tidbits. The CD comes highly recommended!"
Phil Derby, Electroambient Space
"It's an eclectic mix, but then I would expect nothing less from this creative Finnish composer."
RJ Lannan, New Age Reporter
"Ozone Player has produced a remarkable album with enough variety and vitality to entertain not just the electronic lovers out there, but a large segment of the World and Ambient audience as well that respect diversity and modern creativity. Put this in the CD Player and drive!"
Stephanie Sollow, Progressive World
"It's well programmed and produced, but it doesn't have the same spark that E had, regardless of the gloominess of the arrangements."
Sven Cipido, Electron
"This CD contains, in my opinion almost all EM genres. A perfect mix of Jarre over Vangelis, industrial and more easy listening music. Very exiting and interresting and is open for a lot of listeners because of the different styles. "
John Patrick , Progression
"What really catches me, though, is the dash and sparkle of harmonic daring and melodic invention way too seldom heard in electronic music."
