“The music written by Ana-Maria Avram and Iancu Dumitrescu is explosive, and I can still recall the shock and pleasure of hearing the first CD. It's a bomb going off that doesn't stop going off. Not simply another sonic ‘experience' or ‘adventure', but something which shatters your previous concepts of music, idiom, genre and modernity”. ( Ben Watson, “Mute Magazine” #12)
