”Dear Alf,
What a nice surprise; our postman brought a present from Stavanger
and what
a wonderful thing it is!!!
I find your recording and everything about it to be the most
exciting thing
I have heard for a long, long time. I get sent CDs all the time
and they do
not always get a second visit to the CD player. Yours, however
is nearly
worn out from repeated playings.
All I can say is: I NEED MORE OF THIS STUFF!!
I like, at the end of the track, the cold wind blowing over
that empty beer
bottle - a perfect ending to a very wonderful experience. Magnificent
work,
old chap.”

"Well, another cracker of an album - how do you do it? The first track contains "the stuff of nightmares" and is very scary! Keep up the excellent work!

"This is the most unusual demo for this month due to the
unique blend of
styles on the track porten..."

music tech magazine/neil worley, editor
"I must say that we really
were very impressed with your music, and we might be able to
feature your website in our News section.
I think our readers would also be interested to hear a complete
track, so I wondered if you’d like us to include one of
your tracks on our cover DVD this issue. Congratulations again
on this great release."
mute musikkmagasin/arild r.andersen
"...probably fun to record, but not
fun to listen to...believe me.
It´s ok to be clever and skillful, but this went all wrong...(4/10)
"
øivin fjeld/g# guitar founder, and master-builder
"This is brilliant, unbeliveable nice soundscapes,moods, nice variations,strong compositions and also beatifully played. I hear a bit Jeff Beck in there, but that´s only cool. Definitely a cd to be played loads of times in my car..where I have time to listen to music. My son, Benjamin says: ”Insanely good, and I have never heard anything like it. This is a cd EVERYBODY MUST BUY!!"
don butler/toneman us
“Great stuff on there. I love the slide
playing. I've been playing slide for 37 years!! Nice stuff.”
john stapley/guitar player us
"About the athana CD .... man, it is beyond righteous. Just GREAT! I listened to it 3 times in my car, THEN I read the review in Vintage Guitar Magazine. I concur in every detail w/ that review."
don campbell/stellartone
"I very much enjoyed your C.D. - I've now listened to it about four times while on the highway between Medford and Portland, Oregon. Very nice work, and very well produced! If you have not been looking for a theatrical agent for film production in Los Angeles, you should! Your music is ready for use in the next Quentin Tarantino film, in my opinion! "
michael a. jones/professor washington us
"I have been playing the CD and find it fabulous. I must admit it got my creative juices flowing."
ted/musictoyz
"to put it straight... you`re doing what I would love to do... "

who came to my house.
They all loved it too!"

I've been enjoying your CD thanks! Man! you rip on it! Sweet tones
Over the whole CD..
alf vesterelv/guitarist ”the maudlin hounds”
"Very cool cd, fat guitarsounds and interesting guitarplaying. Not what I expected from a soloalbum, I was positive surprised. Reminded me a bit of Wall of Voodoo, in a more modern way."
eivind aarset/guitarist jazzland
"Very nice cd!"
bjarte tjøstheim/P3
"Congratulations with an unbelievable beautiful, daring,
exciting and cool record!"
bjørn

your sound.

I can hear the P&C causing general havoc."
denis cornell/dc-developments
"I like your new tapes better."
robb/ron-jellish
"Ron
and I just received your new CD, "Alien Elephants".
Wow! Way cool! We've got it slammin' on the CD player right
now.
Ron is going to scan the front of the CD and we'll get and MP3
of this up on
our website."
mark zaslav/san francisco
“.... it is your playing, taste, beats and melodic sense
that make your music so special - there is always something
interesting or tasty happening or about to happen.”
"Nothing I have heard over the past several years is as
cool and interesting as yours. You need to reach a wide audience
– there must be many people like me in America and Europe."
rune nilson/musicjournalist
".. it sounds very exciting,
especially the tune Porten, which is a
delicious mix of fat beats, robotic statement and nearly a blues/rock
groove.."
robert
keeley/keeley electronics
"I
could not ignore you or your Fantastic Music any longer! Great
disc sir! I've listened to it many times in the shop and in
the car! Built many pedals to it even!"

there I
wanted to get in and listen to"
jon tye / lo recording
"I think it is really unusal and entertaining!"

could not get any better but I was wrong! Your
new compositions have some of the best guitar tone that I have
ever
heard - particularly on "Samaka"
marthe hjort/nrk p3

michael hillier/staff
