Reviews:
“I’m not a big fan of instrumental experimental music, but Akta Angkasa has succeeded in changing my mind about that. One of Malaysia’s best experimental bands at the moment, Akta Angkasa has just released their latest, Kognitif. Everything that this band offers is refreshingly creative — right down to the way they packaged their CD! The album offers you a solid instrumental rock sound, rich with the fusion of heavy guitar distortions and effects, and strong melodies with a touch of the electronic. 4/5″ – Junk, July 2010
“Akta Angkasa is one of the true visionary acts attempting to take local music to the next level […] Kognitif […] properly captures the band at its progressive best” – The STAR, July 1, 2010
“[…] this time they really push beyond dimension on how music shall be composed.” – Rice Factory
