WHOLE EARTH REVIEW

GUITAR PLAYER magazine

ALL MUSIC GUIDE
"'Progressive' in the purest sense of the term"
SEA OF TRANQUILITY
"The music of Djam Karet is still innovating and the universe called Djam Karet is still expanding. It's always a pleasure to review their music"
PROGVISIONS
"Djam Karet is a highly sophisticated outfit and their music crosses many boundaries and they do it with ease. They are the best instrumental band in America"
KYND MUSIC
"Djam Karet have done a masterful job of moving their trademarked sound in yet another developmental direction. Their sound is easily identifiable being a mixture of psychedelic, symphonic, industrial and ambient. Highly recommended"
PROGRESSIVE EARS
"A band with more than 20 years of existence shouldn't need any introductions. Their 15 studio recordings talk for themselves and those who are very much into instrumental progressive music surely already have listened to music from this band"
PROG-PT
"This is real barnstormer with a fluid and spacy sound perfectly balanced against a fusiony, raging guitar attack"
RATE YOUR MUSIC
"The new release by Djam Karet features tightly performed and well thought out pieces that derive from the classics"
MAELSTORM
"Djam Karet continues on with the band's tradition of producing some of the best instrumental progressive rock ever written. On Recollection Harvest, Djam Karet shows that they do what most bands of the genre don't, they're still progressing, creating adventurous instrumental progressive rock music. They simply do not rest on their past laurels. What other band can honestly say that? That being said, I give this album a high recommendation"
PROGNAUT
"If you're looking for modern guitar soundscapes to carry on the traditions of 'Meddle' or 'Lark's Tongues In Aspic', check this disc out"
