Press Reviews "great sweeping washes of sound over intricate, almost insectoid, rhythm patterns [...] It really swings, lending a warmth common with much recent smart electronic music [....] There's a dubby feel to the drifting basslines, particularly on the track 'Errol', recalling Kit Clayton's latest, and of course, Pole."(Dan Hill, Motion http://motion.state51.co.uk/ ) "Chilled out, electro bleepy niceness" (Pavement Mag) "Jet Jaguar a.k.a. Michael Upton blends the best of two worlds... wonderfully weird electronics are paired with street-savvy rhythms to combine into something that can be grooved with or floated upon. [....] An infatuated 9.1 for sounds that make me giddy." (Ambientrance http://www.spiderbytes.com/ambientrance/ )"The packaging alone shows Nu Zulland is coming of age when it comes to electronica and the sounds inside are a match for it" (Evening Post) [Album release party review] "I've [...] always been impressed with his unique stoned cicada beats and blurps. [....] There was a murmuring of appreciative "yeah!"s and big smiles all around as the funk began to flow even the [venue] cat took up a possie on the bass bins.
