As you may have understood, Velma provides a real alternative to the actual music soup and insulates you from radio junk and other MTV aggressions…
JK, pump, (Paris, France)
This record is full of sounds and emotions, really exciting, from head to tail. […] Without any doubt, a must
LL, SDZ, (Paris, France)
You will experience an uncommon and striking feeling of pleasure, but its very brevity will let you enough attention to catch every sound, the smallest note, and you will be engulfed by a wave of ideas and experiences…
Renaud de Foville, Café Calva, (Paris, France)
Velma’s music is cuddled with loops, haunted by samples or playful sound effects, evokes instinctively Can at its peak. Poetry and liberty constitute the dominant features of a canvass of classical or electronic resounding samples working for elegant and refined melodies…
Jean-Philippe Bernard, La Liberté, (Fribourg / Suisse)
It’s high-concept, exploratory electro-art, courtesy of the adventurous folks at Emperor Norton – the same label that brought us Arling & Cameron and Fantastic Plastic Machine.
T’Cha Dunlevy & David Kristian, The Gazette (Montreal), (Montréal / Canada)
Finally, from Switzerland, the « anti-rock » record Billy Corgan promised before we realized he just meant « slow ».
Jeff Salomon, American Statesman, (Austin, Texas / USA)
