"This record fleshes out a whole spectrum of new sounds for EU, some of which were hinted at on their 'Tuner' EP. EU are widely renowned within the electronic world of music for their DSP-glitch-a-thons and abstract beatscapes. With Warm Math EU have moved away from the synthetic sound of digital electronics, to one which is more romantic. They set out to record an album of 'songs' instead of just 'tracks' using techniques and sounds familiar to fans of modern electronica, but with emphasis on a more organic and human sound."

"The St. Petersburg electronica duo EU last year wooed music lovers, media and everybody in-between with their homely, heart-warming melodic electronics. Over the 6 tracks of this EP, we see them moving away from the use of their trademark complex dsp and glitch-trickery, as their sound throughout this EP metamorphoses into a new world of crunchy hipped and hopped beats, skewed melodic refrains, dense basslines and electronic daydreams."

"After returning from Switzerland and his extensive work with distorto-rock trio 16-17 for Digital hardcore Recordings, Damian meets Ben, and Gauge is formed. Damian is also currently carthage and founder of the Twin Valley Falls label, as well as bassist for 16-17. He was also previously involved in collaborations with Techno Animal. Gauge recorded The Gatehouse in 1996 with Matt Elliot (Third Eye Foundation) behind the mixing desk, they take their influences (Slint, Codeine, Rachels ... ) and twist them into a sound so sparse, so totally unique. This 12" minialbum spans 40 minutes of the finest gauge in 6 tracks.. Third Eye Foundation can also be found on remix duty."

"Ninth CD by this prolific Russian IDM artist (previously: EU_Soft, EU_Phonic, Clip Cool, EU_Hard II, (V,W), Rhythm Manipulation, 19, Christmas Baubles). Now I am as permissive of IDM as the next guy, but after eight albums of the stuff, it gets a bit regurgitative. No, I'm kidding you. This is really EU's second real album after his Art-Tek 'debut'. Although he does have seven other albums out, they are mp3.com DAM CDs which really don't count as real albums as they're manufactured by mp3.com on special 'temporary use' CDs. This CD is a real CD and will last forever and ever. I like how, in the music, those mystery sounds come in then drums come in then the melody is in then the drums are out then at the end it's everything all together. I like that. And the voices, how they remind me of being a child, their childishness. It brings on a nice feeling here... and here. When I'm sleeping and in the magic fairy kingdom that inhabits my dreams there's a soundtrack like this, all sweetness and light with a little bit of sadness. No one's every tired cause no one ever works very hard. And in the purple mushroom cloud passage where the sprites (passage edited)... Lite." -- Hrvatski.
