"This funny crew unashamedly tackles sonic territories where others will never set foot - for fear of falling or getting stuck - and negotiates at full speed tight turns where leaving the road is the danger of every moment. This shows that Illaps' jazz is acrobatic, if the risk-taking is great, but fortunately gives rise to complex and constructed pieces, where everything fits together. Exceptional playing modes, search for the sound that itches, the noise that hits the mark. A piece of Illaps is often a beautiful juxtaposition of false (real) starts and singular reversals of situation, of striking flights that are as lyrical as they are sudden. This is what which gives all its richness to this improvised jazz."
