Bruce Lindsay / www.allaboutjazz.com "... А я скажу что Eyot своей достаточно оригинальной и запоминающейся музыкой вполне достойны собственной странички в мировой музыкальной истории..." www.xorosho.com "Una de las más innovadoras bandas relativamente nuevas en el mundo del jazz, EYOT, provenientes de Serbia" www.necrofagiaynecrofilia.blogspot.com " GREAT variations of sound. DO NOT SKIP THIS ONE. It's so much more than just jazz." www.thesirenssound.com " Ci troviamo davanti ad una delle più importanti giovani Jazz band d'Europa. Parlando di loro i BIG del JAZZ non hanno badato a spendere i loro migliori complimenti per EYOT. Dopo averli sentiti si capisce il Perché! " www.webmetropolis.org "Jedan od najboljih domaćih (ne samo džez) albuma iz ovogodišnje produkcije." www.jazzin.rs "Eyot verwebt einen Mix aus Jazzkultur , mit düsteren Elemente der osteuropäischen Folklore und untermalt diese mit einem Hauch glatter elektronischer Fusion und der Raffinesse des klassischen Klaviers . Ergebnis ist das Eyot Jazz in einer neuen Dimension. " Frank Schöne / Musik-Abteilung @ www.dokfest-muenchen.de/ "EYOT is surely one of the most quality and promising young bands out there right now." -
