Nostramus Press
WHAT THE MUSIC PRESS HAD TO SAY:
"Twenty first century pagan drum & bass".

Ambience for the Masses. .

"This is the shit. I cannot stop listening to this motherfucker. The man behind the muzeek here is SPON, and this cat has laid down the most spiritual and earth shaking jungle/dub work that I have ever heard. I highly recommend you check this out if you want to break it down".
Ink Nineteen, July '98
Read Full Review" We are talking about an album. of music. that is jungle at its core. smartly, cleverly, technically, and perhaps most importantly musically crafted and tied together to create a whole that is rarely seen in the jungle/d.n.b game, then or now. truly unique, varied, broad, yet still cohesive and maintaining consistency and flow and oneness - "Earthlights" is probably the best jungle album youve never heard. hear it now!"

"Pero un Richard Ashcroft engullido por uno de los sofás levanta su botella de Heineken a forma de saludo y un risueño Simon Jones aparece a mi derecha cargado con un puñado de compactos entre los que distingo el interesante «Earth-Nostramus-Light» -soberbio tratado de breakbeat tétrico-ambiental-. ¿Quién dijo hippie?".
Mondo Sonoro, October '97
Read Full Review"Nostramus probably won't change the face of music as we know it, but his album does stand out amid the glut of emerging Drum 'n' Bass cases. Don't let this one disappear into the black hole of hyped-up breakbeat science clones - Nostramus is definitely one to watch".
SILENCER's Album Reviews, Sept '97
Read Full Review"My favourite is Nostramus and the MC13's 'Dark Jewel' which is a little more sinister and features excellent vocals from Caroline Nische". DJ Mag, May '97
(Review of Lost In Space Drum & Bass Phase 2)"Nostramus deserve credit for their accessibility and open-mindedness, on this form they've produced a record that is intriguing and entertaining".
Soundbite magazine
(Review of Earthlights CD)"Seething drum'n'bass, dark sound effects and samples culled from an LSD scarred imagination".
Mixmag (Review of Earthlights CD)"Dance with the devil among the intensely powerful breakbeats"
NME (Review of Earthlights CD)This one ain't true;
"Trippy drum'n'bassers NOSTRAMUS were also communing with nature up in the Green Fields, indulging in a spot of naked dancing (apart from the mud, that is). So taken were the Luton electronicists with their new outfits - loads of glorious mud rubbed all over 'em - that they scooped loads up into buckets and bin liners and brought it back home with them, ready for their next gig".
Melody Maker assuming Nostramus to be at Glastonbury '97 (they weren't).
HERO OF BAMBOOSTICK
(feat. vocalists MC Mention & Golden)
Main Mix -
"A superb mixture of jungle breaks, King Fu samples, and a nice combination of soulful and ragga style vocals. Truly original!"
KNOWLEDGE MAG
Dark and Lovely Mix -
Retaining the Kung Fu vibe this mix skillfully employs a hint of an acid riff over some jazzy Photek-esque beats."
KNOWLEDGE MAG
Main Mix -
"Starts off kinda mellow with some nice Kung Fu movie samples, while the MC's sing-jay complements the 'pre-battle' vocal strings. Mellow, simple stepper beat is often peppered with classic Amen second bar roll out. This track is put together with real class!"
