Reviews:
“… there’s no doubting where Stellarium’s real strength lies, and that’s in bludgeoning the senses with relentless streams of white noise. Take “Chocolate & Strawberry”, for example, arguably the record’s stand-out moment, where a barrage of pedal-assisted guitars career and collide with an incredible drumming display that rivals an AK47 for sheer machine-like propensity. All the time, the vocals are fairly inaudible buried unsteadily beneath the mix, and while there’s a curious inkling to want to know more about what “Harbinger” or “Paddle Pop” are about, the absence of any definable lyric only adds to Stellarium’s mystique.” – Drowned in Sound
“Whether you’re the gawky romantic or the art house elitist that swears by Franz Kafka and Jean-Luc Godard, Stellarium… have a goal of grabbing your eardrums, doing some hefty reshaping and couriering them back to you in 467 pieces, properly busted.” – Junk
“… a long shutter exposure speeding past bright lights…” – Music Alliance Pact – February 2010 Issue
