Album Reviews[edit]
Excerpt from an album review:
"...One thing I love about this CD is that it causes my brain to think in images rather than words as I listen... It's not simply the lack of lyrics that causes that, but the vibrant and evocative tones that Sakis chooses. He is able to create a living, visual landscape through his music, which seems rare for electronica..." - Michael Doherty, Michael Doherty's Music Log (USA) [13]
