Press Reviews SLUG MAGAZINE 3/2000- Phlegmatic/Iotas..."Phlegmatic is ready to send you to outer space. That's the best way I could describe them. The first song on this EP builds slowly to a burning intensity. Throw your gas can on the campfire, and you will be able to imagine the raw heat that this CD gives off. I recognize Captain Insane-O's drumming anywhere. He keeps that beat to make the ladies writhe and undulate like Kabuki dancers at a Shinto free for all. This album shows a lot of talent on the part of Phlegmatic. Formerly, these local heroes were called the Toilet Smurphs, and god knows what that makes you imagine."-Jeremy Cardenas
