Praises about "Beautiful Is The Way To The Word Beyond"
"
Ultimately this is a beautiful, unique and sincere album of instrumental pop. Don’t let it get away. 8/10 Drowned In Sound
"Their taste for distorted kalimbas produces a similar satisfying crunch to Konono N°1's electric likembes" RockaRolla
"The French space-rock-kraut outfit just nails it with every new album. They seem to be from a parallel universe anyway, so hopefully at least there NLF3 will lead the charts for weeks to come. 9/10 Lowdown Music.
"Hippie post-rock with touches of 'kraut' and Belgian absurdity marks this NLF3 CD as somewhat exceptional. Smart rhythm patterns, equally based on tribal Central-African (Congotronics!) as well as on TV tunes, determine this fluent exercise in innovation." PennyblackMusic.co.uk
