    Spellewauerynsherde is magical. The kind of music that makes every place feel like home at night.

    spellewauerynsherde is mesmerizing. what really impressed me are almost inaudible parts of last two tracks, but turning up the volume isn't necessary nor wanted. absolute recommendation.

    Lush stuff. Just heard a track on Tom Ravenscroft - "Where To Let Our Scars Fall In Love". Gorgeous, random and noisy.

    Beautiful. Great! Glad to have found that music! His Satie remembers me somehow to "InsideTheDream" by Juergen Groezinger or even Jueri Gagarino´s work...

    There is something extremely creepy, eerie, yet calming about this music. Great to listen to in the dark.
