Press Reviews "The song (I'm Deranged ) was remixed awesome" (guestbook) Bowiebizarre site IUMA .......... Associates Tribute Two...Stabbing cellos, brutally dark-ominous beats and faux accordian makes for a wonderfully different and European-sounding rendition of Three Gypsies I n A Restaurant.....(Tranznational) Richard Reynolds from brokenpaws and Soren Larsen collaborate with a sultry ambient piano ballad version of Blue It Is , from Billy's Winter Academy project(Craig Burton) see links.......... "The Affectionate Bunch" (Tribute) "Stand out tracks...Ever Since that Day" Scot-Buzz webzine .......... "The UnEasybed" Sdtk. "The melodies help portray the feelings of a couple whose marriage runs aground on conflicting expections..." ASU Dance magazine.......... "The Ropes that Bind" (wings+heaven) (see IUMA.com for W+H site) "Minimal moody throbs to syncopated , hyper-danceable beats with meticulous chops and sequencing...Strong blending of electro and human impulses... Alberta's answer to Duet Emo , Cabaret Voltaire and Dalis Car" Ear Magazine..... "Rhythmic pulsations and plastic milk crates, acoustic instruments and germacide canisters...Has a definite murky ambience..powerful and sometimes disturbing..." Graffiti magazine..... "Rhythmical..body electro style ..experimental technics , effects..but with care... Like DAF Cabaret Voltaire..and has it's own beauty...." Studenski List magazine / Zagreb..... "bp1" brokenpaws "Most interesting...sounds great and I'll be featuring it on up coming shows.." Dr.Death Radio s how/C'est la Mort Records Baton Rouge... "I admire musicians like brokenpaws who weaves the environment around him into his music ..This is a fine example of collages , very subtle and ambient at moments , harsher at others...squeaks , mattress percussion, wind up toys, lamp shades, metal sheet percussion and a long list of "conventional instruments"...good mood music without creating visions of golden sunsets and wind swept beaches that new age muzak tries to invoke" Nerve magazine
