Anton Eger: drums

‘Marius Neset, the 25-year-old Norwegian saxophonist who surfaced in the UK last year with Django Bates (his teacher and mentor at Copenhagen’s Rhythmic Music Conservatory), not only combines Brecker’s power and Jan Garbarek’s tonal delicacy, but has a vision that makes all 11 originals on this sensational album feel indispensable, and indispensably connected to each other. Neset is on his way to being one of the biggest new draws on the circuit’.
GUARDIAN 5/5 STARS (UK) *****

‘This is certainly a golden explosion of an album. Neset presents himself as a full-blooded young saxophone-lion with monster technique and a rhythmic capacity that he uses with overwhelming results… Neset is a young musician on an exceptional level…Golden Xplosion is an album which should establish Marius Neset at the jazz scene far beyond Scandinavia’.
DAGBALDET (NORWAY)

‘Getting on to Django Bates’s favourite-sax list isn’t easy (it spans Charlie Parker to Evan Parker, with Iain Ballamy in the middle), but his star pupil at the Copenhagen Rhythmic Music Conservatory, 25-year-old Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset, is there already. Neset’s imminent second album is a showcase for his virtuosity and genre-crunching openness’.
GUARDIAN F&M PLAYLIST (UK)

‘Diversified young Norwegian sax sensation Marius Neset showed what the fuss is all about: remember that name’.
SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT (US)

‘On Golden Xplosion Marius Neset seriously marks himself as a saxophonist and composer of international class. He deconstructs with greatness the jazz genre with his muscular and creative playing, and has his own signature in the room between avant-garde, fusion and bop’.
GEIGER (DENMARK)

Energetyczny power-jazz!

Norweski saksofonista Marius Neset znany w Polsce ze współpracy z Adamem Bałdychem (płyta „Imaginary Room” dla ACT) w swojej ojczyźnie uchodzi za objawienie jazzowej sceny, opiniotwórczy DAGBLADET napisał o nim "the most talented Norwegian saxophonist since Jan Garbarek in the 1960s".

Pomimo młodego wieku skaptował do składu swojego zespołu wyśmienitego pianistę Django Batesa, w sekcji usłyszymy kontrabasistę Jaspera Hoiby i Antona Egera za perkusją.

Ten kwartet uwodzi autentycznością i oryginalnością, co sprawia, że słuchając muzyki nie odnosimy wrażenia, że muzycy wchodzą w cudze buty, upodabniają się, naśladują. Obracają się we własnym świecie, ukazując siłę akustycznego, europejskiego grania.

Płyta spotkała się z entuzjastycznym przyjęciem na świecie, brytyjski GUARDIAN dał jej najwyższą notę - *****
