Reviews
"At times, the musicians gel to a dizzying pace as if they were living on the edge, but their diversity is expressively highlighted during various segments, evidenced by the Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys- like "Don Juan." Here, the band morphs the psych-rock component into a fast-break schematic, tinted with nanosecond-style speed. "
"The trio oscillates the momentum with spacey interludes and intricate dialogues amid stirring ebbs and flows. Ligro operates on 12 cylinders, but shrewdly tempers the dynamic in such a way that parallels plot development. A stunning program that borrows from the godfathers of jazz-rock and prog rock, while also enlightening the present with an artistic flair, often exercised with high-decibel output."

"... a rather amazing (international) debut. It's hard-hitting all the way but there's plenty of variety, even including an interpretation of Stravinsky's 'An Easy Piece Using Five Notes.'"
"It's a surefire winner for anyone who digs on advanced guitar wielding, the fused arts, and a hot trio going at it with music that rises above the repetition of accepted formulas to make something very much new out of it all."
- Grego Applegate Edwards -
"These compositions fuse aspects of jazz and rock into an amazing gestalt of cosmic proportions. The tunes are energized and forceful, yet convey a distinct humanity drenched with exuberant emotion. This combination of raunchy and sophistication is a pure delight to behold. And the music itself?--ah, the melodies are truly remarkable; bewitching and magnificent and thoroughly satisfying."
"Severely recommended, even if your interest in jazz-rock is mild. This stuff will convert you."
-Matt Howarth -
"A traditional power trio format, that is anything but traditional and everything more than what you might imagine ... influences from McLaughlin to Hendrix, via Tony McPhee and Allan Holdsworth."
"... dancing round the beat are the almost lyrical drums and percussion of Gusti Hendi, who must surely be a Tony Williams fan. While no one member is the star of the show, Agam’s cliché-free guitar excursions which light up each song in sometimes obvious but usually unexpected flights of fancy are a pure delight."
"Definitely recommended!"
- Roger Trenwith -
"Agam Hamzah plays guitar like a cross between Alan Holdsworth, Gary Boyle, James Ulmer, even a bit of Sonny Sharrock, and, hell, his damped Bach intro to Stravinsky sounds like Dave Stewart playing keyboards from the old hallowed Egg."
"... a sophisticated exploration of rock, jazz, and fusion morphing back and forth at will."
- Mark Tucker -
"Hamzah channels his inner Fripp ... the band reach Mahavishnu intensity levels ... torrents of blazing notes over an acrobatic rhythm section.
"... jazz-rock / fusion / prog that lives on the edge ..."
- Pete Pardo -
