REVIEWS of the new album WHAT???:
"In summary, Highest Primzahl On Mars excel at gradually developing acidic, atmospheric space rock jams with trance inducing melodies. The magic is in the blend of hair-raising intensity and narcotic hypnotism. Give these guys the right live situation and I can see a dance floor full of blissful stoners." (dprp.net)

"What??? is a powerful statement from Krautrock nirvana – intense, sprawling, completely detached."
8,5 out of 10 points (amplified-mag.de)

"WHAT???” has an effect on the listener that can be imagined as if Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick had joined forces to distill all their visions and stories into a double album – and that can only be overwhelming!" (rockblogbluesspot.com)

"Douglas Adams once said, "Everything invented after your 35th birthday goes against the natural order of things." That's precisely why this album sounds the way it does. These gentlemen beyond the cosmic age of 35 know that this kind of music doesn't require youth, but rather experience in losing control." 9,8 out of 10 points (Time for metal)

"So buckle up, let yourself be beamed away from this strange world for two hours with the new groove from Frankfurt, it's definitely worth it." 12 out of 15 points (Betreutes Proggen)

"This beautiful piece of creative musical freedom is guaranteed not to be forgotten."
(Slam Altenative Music Magazine)
"Spacy, repetitive, boundless in every respect, the quartet adds elements from all kinds of genres – stoner, wave, funk and more – and sets off for Mars. It's easy to get on board with that."
(KrautNick Magazine)
