REVIEWS:
"two long mantra-rock tracks, track one has a hawkwind, "hurry on sundown" garage-guitar riff on endless repeat with heavy drums & spacenoise. track two is some tranced-out Deep Purple thunder with electronic supernovas & abstract screams on top. would love to see this live. wonderful pot-smoking music." Glenn Donaldson, Jewelled Antler

"First out is Tivol whose two epic Krautrock monsters not only lurk in the background with its scary sight, rather providing loud, psychedelic excess from note one to the very last. Primitive guitar workouts stick to the groove like a swarm of wasps to a jar of honey, but there's also plenty of spacey effects moving in and out of the mix. Heavy repetition with tentacles stretching outwards towards outer space as well as towards some hippie event by a lake clad in the northern lights. Very nice." Mats Gustafsson, Broken Face

"Good lord! Apparently no one told Tivol that rock was dead. Even if they had, I can imagine the thundering hip-hop that might have been recorded. This is fat-ass psychedelic jams that don't stop until every neuron is adequately fried. Some people call this Sabbath worship, but Black Sabbath has little to do with it. Very akin to Pharaoh Overlord (or Pharaoh Overload if you prefer); massive, chunky, blasted to fuck. The last song is almost death metal or something so I'm not quite as keen on it, but track 1 is nothing but reward-reward-reward to my cerebral skinner-box." Chris Moon, Blastitude

"A gravadora 267 Lattajjaa é um daqueles selos com tiragens minúsculas, encartes artesanais e discos fantásticos de bandas que ninguém nunca ouviu falar. Felizmente (ou infelizmente, dependendo do ponto de vista), selos como esse agregam boa parte da música experimental finlandesa contemporânea. Breathtaking Sounds of Tivol, primeiro álbum do quarteto, é um miniCD com duas músicas e pouco mais de vinte minutos de duração. Pegando a atual onda de revitalização da psicodelia, o grupo segue os passos dos japoneses Acid Mothers Temple e junta a repetição do krautrock ao peso do rock dos anos 60. Alto e pesado, como deve ser. Breathtaking Sounds of Tivol soa como Neu! fazendo covers de Black Sabbath. Ou ainda, Deep Purple numa noite inspirada, criando "Smoke on the Water" duma jam, sem guitarras virtuosas ou solos de teclado. É quase heavy metal, mas não se deixe enganar. Como bônus, efeitos eletrônicos indecifráveis e mantras vocais completam o álbum. Deve ser um bando de hippies cabeludos." 4 hearts in a can

"lengthy growling krautrock instrumentals - rough, garagey, chaotic" Boa Melody Bar

"Two raw, pounding psychedelic slabs of riff-rock with whirring layers of thick kosmische space-noise drizzled on top which bring to mind bands such as Guru Guru, Black Sabbath, Acid Mothers Temple (when they kick it out!) and Comets on Fire. A great release from another Finnish band to watch out for." Sea of Shining Shoryobuni
