[MARCH 2010]
Review of Richard Francis & Clinton Watkins – "...abrasive. Its sandstorm sonority includes the kind of electrical harshness that reminds me a little of Atsuhiro Ito’s infamous flourescent light bulb instruments, though this is more consistent and stable. The sudden cutoff to signal the track’s end insinuates that this blast could continue forever." – Cyclic Defrost, Australia

[MARCH 2010]
Review of Richard Francis & Clinton Watkins – "The Richard Francis and Clinton Watkins side is a powerful display of fucked up noise mongering and molten hot white rock! This is sound generation at it's most isolated and disturbed." – Norman Records, UK

[21 NOVEMBER 2009]
Review of Jason Kahn & Richard Francis – "...fragmented melodies quietly ripple
