REVIEWS:
"Error Not Found" is an 82-minute double LP on which the quartet catapults the already impressive guitar psych of their debut to an even higher level of quality." 8 out of 10 Points
(Eclipsed Rock Magazin 7/24)
"... complex psychedelic landscapes that create something unprecedented for the ears through hypnotic, driving rhythms, the most complex guitar playing, the use of oscillation effects and original speech sound fragments from science fiction movies of the 50s, which has an almost cinematic effect"

Escape From Moronia REVIEWS:
"The German quartet delivers a furious instrumental psychedelic album. The whole album is a trip full of driving drums and bass, garnished with guitars, guitars, guitars. It's psychedelic, "krautish", spacy.

"Up there in heaven, Klaus Dinger (NEU!) and Jaki Liebezeit from Can, the inventors of motoric drumming, are beating enthusiastically in time."

"Are these the "Kraut-Rocker" of modern times? Yes, they are. A little harder and more disillusioned than their 60s and 70s ancestors. Nevertheless, just like the space rockers of old, it clears your head of trivial and irrelevant things." (Saitenkult.de)
