| “ | "Funkadelic metamorphosed initially as the freakier, rock-ish, drug-friendly side of George Clinton's once standup, processed-haired, dressed-to-the-nines vocal group -- Parliament. They were the players, the band that became a self-entity through Clinton's advanced creative imaging. Kudos to Dressed-to-Kill for this pressure-cooking tight compilation. The soul and essence of Funkadelic is presented on 10 hardcore jollies." AndrewHamilton@allmusic.com | ” |
| “ | "...it has more than enough truly fine songs to make The Cinderella Theory rank among his best solo albums." StephenThomasErlewine@allmusic.com | ” |
| “ | "Wow. George Clinton and friends covering a bunch of old soul tunes with some originals." Sean Westergaard | ” |
| “ | ' John Lee Hooker’s "Free Beer and Chicken" is one of the best examples of blues-funk you may ever treat your ears to. But it’s not just the crisp, back-bone-slide grooves, or the wonderful minimalism in the added arrangements of horns, violin, keyboards, and even kalimba on "Sittin’ on Top of the World", that make this album so great – it’s how intimate it sounds!

| “ | I offer you here tonight the better sounding of the two Hot Rats Shows in circulation. I dug out my old cdr from where i did this on dime a few years ago. It is taken from a 2nd gen reel and sounds better. Anyway, here's a super Zappa set with the amazing Sugarcane Harris on violin. enjoy Dave | ” |
| “ | 'Sept. 11th. 1970 - Chicago, Aragon Ballroom Friends, here´s another great addition to the John Mayall legacy in exellent FM quality! This is the first live performance with this lineup, without a drummer, I ever found! Another missing Link, this time between Mayall´s "Turning Point" Band and his too short "USA Union" period !'

| “ | ' Hooker spent much of his last years in semi-retirement. When the right offer came along, though, he took it, including an amusing TV commercial for Pepsi. He also kept recording, releasing such star-studded efforts as 1995's "Chill Out" and 1997's "Don't Look Back". All this helped him retain his status as a living legend, and he remained an American musical icon; and his stature wasn't diminished upon his death from natural causes on June 21, 2001.

| “ | ' "The Hook" was a Mississippi native who became the top gent on the Detroit blues circuit in the years following World War II. The seeds for his eerily mournful guitar sound were planted by his stepfather, Will Moore, while Hooker was in his teens. Hooker had been singing spirituals before that, but the blues took hold and simply wouldn't let go. ' Bill Dahl at AMG | ” |
| “ | ' SHAA KHAN are a german heavy prog rock band which produced in the seventies two LPs and two singles plus a re-union live album in 2009. Band developed a rock concept based on two vocalists with self composed songs, something like Genesis with Flo and Eddie of Zappa. Finally music by actors, who enjoy their profession. This album is a top class standard of progressive rock, reaching the pinnacle of this specific musical universe.' hooknose at Avaxblog | ” |
| “ | ' Melodic songs, strong vocals (at least one - very clear and high pitch) and all this made in progressive vein. What the hell can we want more? :) Beside, I like progressive melodic SONGS with vocals. Though. This album is almost a masterpiece... Most of songs can be rated over 4. The result is only 4 stars not 5. :) And what? Do you know many progressive songs with excellent vocals? I don't :) One more time: a very good album, I like it. ' raleks at ProgArchives | ” |
| “ | 'Well, if you like their acclaimed mellow prog folk on the debut album Hoelderlin's Traum you will be pleased with the new CD Eight: most of the 10 compositions sound dreamy with acoustic guitars, violin and pleasant vocals (female and male). The female singer has an important role, she colours the music very beautifully with her a bit high pitched but warm voice.'erik neuteboom at ProgArchives | ” |
| “ | ' Hoelderlin were a German band who started out firmly with a prog-folk styling, but by their 3rd release (Clowns and Clouds) gave in to a more symphonic-prog direction (some could say that they took the easy way out by changing to this style). "Fata Morgana" is their 7th release and really hits this prog listener somewhere deep inside. The main keyboard utilised on this LP is a string synth, and IMO, it is used to great effect and compliments the arrangements perfectly.' Tom Ozric at ProgArchives | ” |
| “ | ' Vocally and aesthetically there is a whole lot of Genesis influence here; musically it’s a bit closer to Camel. Turns out for me at least that’s a pretty good thing, their music seems sort of mildly irreverent to me; intricately excellent, involved, but ultimately almost tongue-in-cheek. In that respect a little bit like Fruup or even a bit like the stuff the Tangent puts out sometimes. ' ClemoNazareth at ProgArchives | ” |
