Kim Johannesen
Adrian Myhr
Alex Masso
Earshift Records, 2009
"...With their snaking melodies and switch-back rhythms, Jeremy Rose's compositions stand out from the pack..."
John Shand, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD Read review
"There is a cool Nordic atmosphere throughout where high-energy pyrotechnics are unnecessary; instead there's a serenity that often swings in its own way...""
John McBeath, THE AUSTRALIAN Read review

Kim Johannesen
Svein Magnus Furu
Tore Sandbakken
AIM Sound City, 2009
"Promising debut from young band - on the way towards an expression where their own voice rings with full authority, they will be exciting to follow both as musicians, ensemble and not least composers."
Terje Mosnes, DAGBLADET Read review
"Beautiful and original - we're dealing with soloists that shows a tremendous potential, but the most important thing is the collective expression and the will and ability to create this together."

THE ECO LOGIC
Kim Johannesen
Svein Magnus Furu
Creative Sources Recordings, 2009
15,00 Euro postage included
"...the players seem to coalesce into a single complex machine, whirring and snoring to itself, a fascinating transformation."
Wyman Brantley, THE SQUID'S EAR
Read review
"While the periodic use of motorized appliances on the guitar by Kim Johannesen vaguely recalls the work of Keith Rowe, these two Norwegian musicians also present a broad spectrum of timbres and settings that demonstrate individual character and humour. An intelligent record throughout."
Massimo Ricci, PARIS TRANSATLANTIC
Read review
"...revealing a sense of musicality that often is missing in this chain of more radical free improvisation. Undoubtedly intriguing."
Rui Eduardo Paes, JAZZ.PT Read review
"The music here has very little connection to any type of musical tradition, but it defines its subject matter far better than many famous jazz concept albums have in the past."
Tim Madison, JAZZREVIEW Read review
"...it proves that we are dealing with two guys who do not intend to compromise with their music and who obviously possesses a great potential."
Tor Hammero, JAZZNYTT Read review

Anders Mogensen
Houshold Records, 2008
"For the undersigned this album brought a new star on the Norwegian jazzscene."
Stein Kagge, AFTENPOSTEN Read review
"...and with its tight, ongoing ensembleplay the band on "Appetite for Structure" is really cooking the whole way thru the album, particularly with sparkling solos from guitarist Johannesen as a bonus."
