Press Reviews Uittreksel uit resensie deur Chutney de Ridder oor die "Om te Breyten" - CD, 28 Mei 2000:"My gunstelinge wissel tussen goed (Jantjie Blom en die Bushrock Band – later as Anton Goosen, Amanda Strydom, Piet Botha en Wouter van de Venter) en skitterend (David Kramer, Valiant Swart, Battery 9, Brasse Vannie Kaap). En dan is daar die top-drie, die manjifiekes op “Om te Breyten”.Die beste van die lot is daai kuns-rock groep Duusman wat “Die Sterre is Wurms in die Heelal” getoonset het. Kan maklik een van die mooiste Afrikaanse love-songs wees wat ek nog ooit gehoor het. Hulle verwerking – so ‘n heerlike Afrika trance ritme – is nommerpas vir die treffende gedig."
