What the press said:
„…full of inventive twists, unexpected arrangements, and outstanding playing.“ – Exposé, USA
„Definitely original. If you are able to imagine Happy the Man’s Kit Watkins and Univers Zero’s Daniel Denis to compose music together with Lars Hollmer and with Michel Berckmans on bassoon, I am pretty sure it would sound something like Stephan Koehr’s „Eskalation“. This is an album deserving a large audience.“ – Tarkus, Norway
„…intelligent rock…fantastic percussion programming…this album is a marvel.“ – Keyboards Magazine Keyboards Magazine (Germany), CD of the Month
„…beautiful and lively (…) and above all, authentic and personal.“ – Traverses, France
„…outstanding music that will definitely appeal to those who love RIO, neo-classical chamber prog, Zeuhl, the likes of Univers Zero, Art Zoyd and Zappa and even straight-ahead progressive rock. Excellent.“ – Progression, USA
