" French horn, keyboards and drums can hold infinite possibilities, as this Montreal trio aptly demonstrates. Pietro Amato (Bell Orchestre, occasionally Arcade Fire), Mathieu Charbonneau and Julien Poissant also juggle duelling melodicas, percussion and an arsenal of effects to create captivating soundscapes and compositions that unexpectedly flowered into dance beats by the set's conclusion. Can Montreal fit another spellbinding instrumental band inside the city walls? Absolutely."

- Michael Barclay, Exclaim! 2004 Pop Montreal Festival review

"Fans of Snailhouse come to expect many things - unique song-craft, stunning musicianship, and a lyrical prowess that is deceptive in its simplicity. From the bare acoustic recordings of (1994's) Fine to the grandoise pop experiments of The Opposite is Also True to the subtle, skewed soul of The Silence Show, Snailhouse takes genres both new and old and weaves them into something that can never be listened to the same way twice."

"Being a one-man project, GDM immediately appeals to me for I believe a stronger artistic imprint is left when an album's worth of music can be attributed to one individual; when, if his visions are grand enough, no one can step on them in any way. Michael Ramey is that one man, and his visions are reminiscent, to my ears, of some of the earliest of Pink Floyd records, smoothed over even more with shades of Radiohead and Hood. Ephemera Blues plays like a mostly-peaceful LSD trip, all groove-matic acoustic guitar swirls and patterns, electronic noodling, foreboding bass riding high in the mix and emotive vocalizings."
