"You are all obviously very talented as musicians, and I liked the way you blended electronica and drum loop elements into a more aggressive mix. You are good drum programmers. I also appreciated the diversity of the styles represented in your music, and was quite taken by the incorporation of female vocals in your songs."

"I listened to all of the songs and I think you have done a fine job. You do not need anyones help on this project. You should just get the songs out for sale. I did notice that most of your songs are in the minor key, which made "It Happens Naturally" such a pleasant change."

"Very epic and grand. Sort of going against the grain of much of the market, but that's a good thing, as the clubby, dance, trash market is so oversaturated and hopefully people will want to move along and hear some songs : )) Of course I have no idea what the Russian marketplace is like, but here its more like advertising than music much of the time."

Ross (Christina Aguilera, Pussycat Dolls), and Joe Gastwirt (Neil Young, Grateful Dead, Michael Jackson).

"You have great unique atmospheres and good ideas, wonderful evocative vocals' timbres. The songs are good demos, but without enough sound impact. I also feel the lack of a good drumming (real or fake, doesn't matter) and the songs haven't a sufficient horizontal developement. I also suggest to enphasize the strenght of some moments who could be more deep and interesting. You probably have to choose if you like to be more "Ambient" or more "Hard Rock"."
