Here is a babelfish translation of part of the review from Music in Belgium. If you know French you can read the full review here.

With the listening of this album, one feels well all the influences comparable by Kulju that it is when it is with the guitar or the keyboards. For example, it is well Mike Oldfield which perspires of the piece "Hieland Road". With the wire of the titles, the jazz-rock'n'roll and an even little fusion mix with the tone progressive. That brings a great richness to the nine titles proposed which represent a advance of several years of compositions.

On "Depth of Autumn", after a beginning very Oldfield, it passes by a Marillion environment all that without never taking the step on its compositions which prove of very good quality. The artist has really a gift for musical construction and it takes a great care to arrangements.

The most interesting beach and also most elaborate is without any doubt this "Somnium". The colors alternate passer by of Zappa with Rush while crossing Yes, King Crimson, Genesis and even Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream at one time. It offers really the complete panel of all qualities of the artist.

In fact the only handicap of this album is to be instrumental. If you can pass above that then you will make a beautiful discovery.

Music in Belgium is actually a general music site (you can read about The Stones, Springsteen and Marilyn Manson there in addition to bands like Porcupine Tree or the Flower Kings). I believe that is my first review from a publication outside the more narrow niche I usually live in.
