Press Reviews Putting a new spin on the term flotation therapy.Elochad masterfully blend a glittering array of synthetic sounds that paradoxically transport you back to the very essence of all things natural.Whale, bird and a whole manner of aquatic samples soon take hold before a veritable watershed of keyboard textures transport you into the unknown depths of even more inviting and unchartered,electronic waters. Fancy a dip anyone? Dick.B. (peoplesound) Nothing but New Age said on 25/06/01 I'd venture to say that Elochad was influenced by Cusco to a certain extent. Not that I care because Elochad's music is awesome and I hope this dude is around for a long long time...Fantasia Island is a very excellent piece indeed as is the rest of his work... Lou Rybij said on 24/06/01 Some of the best music I've heard in a while and I listen to a lot of this type. Most Excellent... caniner99 said on 19/08/01 Being a old time listener to electrontric music,ELOCHAD takes me back to that time,when it was very experimental and fresh.This music is some of the best i have heard in a long time
