  "Press Quotes:

"Archaea is an intriguing contemporary minimalist album......a sophisticated and beautifully performed personal expression............a great way to introduce new composition to younger ears, and to lighten the soul of the jaded listener." Musicworks (Canada)

"What is clear to me in Dan Joseph's pieces is how he tries different ideas of minimalism....the performance by the group is brilliant, precise and fluent at the same time. Especially the first two pieces show rewarding and fresh ideas." Radioshow "PSYCHE v/h FOLK." (Belgium)

"I put this on an was transported.......The first reference was the Penguin Café Orchestra – the sound, vibrancy, joy and tempo. Then I realised that this was minimalism of a high order........ A fabulous album." Ampersand (USA)

"Through and through, this is an outstanding release."

"Archaea knocks one out of the park, meeting Mutable Music’s worthy goal of releasing music that will 'engage the mind and the heart,' as well as providing an example of everything that can go deliciously right with minimalist work. " Startling Moniker (USA)




"I played this with curiosity and fell in love with this..... It's an odd mixture of minimalism, along Steve Reich's early seventies....oriental (eastern Europe), baroque and even medieval at times.....Think The Lost Jockey (when is that coming on CD?), Micheal O'Shea and a very mild Glenn Branca meeting Steve Reich and Micheal Nyman. There are so many links to so many people, but Joseph knows how to keep his music fresh."
