«Questi sette brani senza titolo fanno del duo Nakamura / Kahn una delle realtà più interessanti del momento.»
E.Genio, Blow Up

«Sorgfältig ausgetüftelte, reduktionistische Feinmechanik, die ihr Vergnügen nicht im Groove sucht, sondern in der Fähigkeit, Kristallkugeln im Raum schweben zu lassen.»
R.Dittmann, Bad Alchemy

«Expérience tout à fait passionnante.»
Octopus

«Temporary contemporary has a futuristic gamelan feel, mixing electronics with metal percussion to create minimalist journeys that evoke the human body, space and underwater soundscapes.»
J.Baker, Rubberneck

«On note des plages ambiant électronique proche d'elektroplasma. ... Un délicat et subtile moment d'éelectroacoustique. ...on se sent atomisé, vidé, désincarné.»
Monotrains&Sattelites

«...chaque phénomène sonore semble s'activer et s'éteindre comme des bruits d'insectes apparaissant et disparaissant sur notre passage, à notre écoute.»
M.Henritzi, Peace Warriors

«Repeat are assured, limpid, convincing and pretty far out.»
E.Baxter, The Wire

«Repeat's Musik ist atemberaubend femd und vertraut zugleich. Experimentell und doch gefasst. Fliessend und doch wenig chaotisch.»
T.Kniola, auf abwegen

«Repeat create unassuming sound mobiles that hang in the air and dance randomly in the light.»
P.England, The Wire

«This is your chance to enter a new soundworld the likes of which you will not have heard before, incredibly simple and expressive. It is full of warmth too; if you were expecting another trip through impersonal digital-hell, think again. … This could be another step forward in the exciting musical adventure that constitutes experimental music today!»
E.Pinset, Sound Projector
