ADAM FRANKLIN (from Swervedriver) - no joke! Sciflyer's music has been used in two professional surfing videos produced by Swell.com! One is an online-only clip of six-time world champion (and former Bay Watch star), Kelly Slater. The other is a retail home video documentary. Sciflyer is on the soundtrack with bands like Helmet, Nebula and Zen Guerilla! Video sales have reached 10,000 copies! Sciflyer has a track on a new tribute compilation CD, Teen Feeding Frenzy, on the Go-Kustom Records label from Seattle!

POP NEWS (France) ** "The think that distinguishes Sciflyer is their desire to aim higher with their music."

AAM SUNDAY SERVICE ** "Songs like Come Up To My Cloud and Sovereign take on a texture akin to a poor man's My Bloody Valentine..." SPLENDID ** "Fans of dream-laden drone-pop will find this disc to be a deserving addition to their collection." ALL MUSIC GUIDE
