PROGARCHIVES REVIEW:
www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=78184
"A/five stars; a full-blown masterpiece of original Jazz-Rock Fusion--one that feels as if it is paying homage to many of the key shakers and movers of the 1960s and 1970s jazz-rock fusion movement." (BrufordFreak, 5/5)

PROGARCHIVES REVIEW:

" This latest album by Amoeba Split is a solid addition to their discography, and it confirms them as one of the contemporary references of the Canterbury scene. A personal and original reinvention of progressive jazz-rock, musically creative, emotionally balanced and skillfully and sensitively executed." (Diversión con vinilos, 5/5)

PROGARCHIVES REVIEW:

“Quiet Euphoria presents the magical alchemy of surreal atmospheres, lightness, and jazz flavor to reach its stylistic and expressive peak. There is room for everything: experimentation, delicacy, and power, they all manage to coexist in this album with a thousand faces, very tight and full of feeling in a fully jazz-rock sound. With this album the band reaffirms its place as one of the best bands in the world and delivers another masterpiece that will definitely, and with every right, resonate into the world of prog and jazz rock and become an inevitable classic of this music." (New Dawn Of Prog, 5/5)

"La musique est un creuset d'influences diverses et l'on ne peut qu'être admiratif devant cette formation qui, tout en revendiquant certaines influences, ne sonne jamais vraiment comme les monuments qui l'on vraisemblablement inspirée. Amoeba Split conçoit des arrangements complexes mais faciles à écouter et sait mettre en valeur des solos fluides et excitants au coeur d'une musique qui évolue constamment à la frontière imprécise entre le rock, l'expérimental et le jazz électrique. C'est aussi un ensemble qui privilégie le jeu collectif plutôt qu'individuel en visant d'abord l'expressivité et l'efficacité de chaque composition. Dans le genre, cet album instrumental brillant n'est rien moins qu'un véritable joyau des nouvelles musiques progressives. (Pierre Dulieu, 5/5)
