Sawt Out should be listened to the same way as satellite photos from a distant planet are observed.
[Ken Waxman – Jazzword]
This set works quite well on its own terms and will certainly be enjoyed by listeners with a taste for active, visceral improv.
[Brian Olewnick – Just Outside]
The dynamic excursions are so unpredictable and rich in sonic data that joining the rational mayhem becomes a convenient solution to defy disorientation.
[Massimo Ricci – the Squid's Ear]
The dynamic range of the music works very well on these pieces. This is another intense release, certainly no easy listening.
[Frans DeWaard – Vital Weekly]
Musik zur Zeit. Punktum.
[Rigobert Dittmann – Bad Alchemy]
