Mark Lotz, Alan Purves

"“Musicians who have disregard on conventions are thinly sown. The Netherlands has at least two.”"

""The duo embraces throughout the album a philosophy of experimentation with obscure reminiscences (and Dadaists) inventing a kind of new ethno-free or postmodern world music.”"

""Esoteric miniatures between folkloric beauty and avant-garde.”"

"“There’s never a dull moment.""

""Fifteen pieces bursting with playfulness and humor, reflecting intense, experienced musicality and negligent craftsmanship”"

"“Full of imagination and full-hearted emotions.”"

"“Jugglers of sounds.""

"“You get a sense of these guys are kids playing with toys in a closet as they pull out something to form a chase scene on the galloping …“"

"“Emotion Machine. Hypnotic percussions, enchanting melodies and sounds of uncertain provenance co-exist in this construction of an emotional kaleidoscope that is capable of transporting us to distant geographies as well as to the secret world within us.”"

"“Convincing argument for the depth of humor, bizarre sounds and rhythm.”"

"“Food Foragers is a penetrating document, which is certainly improvised à la Purves and Lotz, but also honors melody and harmony. Coupled with the repository of cultures that are affected, it yields an interesting piece of music. On which both musicians still let go of their runaway imagination, but certainly their craftsmanship is wrenched from all pores. The title piece Food Foragers appears to be a blues with a pig, Belly Buttons a second traditional melody from Mali and Lullaby For Time a threatening, underground sounding expression. All this from the box of two unfortunately – sometimes – unsung geniuses. All this from the box of two unfortunately – sometimes – unsung geniuses.”"

"“Let’s see—Campfire music? Check. Star gazing music? Check. Dance music? Check. Dream music? Check. Road music? Check. That’s Food Foragers.“"

""Sirene-like, haunting music!. Hypnotic as Sirens"."
