“Sein Stil ist von großer Klarheit und künstlerischer Reife gezeichnet, seine Kompositionen bleiben trotz Lust am Experiment in jedem Moment melodisch zugänglich und emotional offen, und das gesamte Album wird von einer souveränen Eigenständigkeit und Wärme getragen, zu der man gerade im anstehenden Herbst und Winter sehr gerne immer wieder zurückkehren wird.” (5/6)

On the May-tour in Europe some people asked where to get hold of Watch It Watch on vinyl. It is now for sale via UK based Norman Records. Here’s what they say about it:
“Yet to perform in the UK, Il Tempo Gigante has gained a reputation for putting on an impressive live show. Shying away from traditional song structures, ‘Watch It Watch’ is an intricately handmade, understated and utterly engaging album of hypnotic compositions which draw the listener into it’s unusual world through various, compelling movements that have an instinctive, spontaneous feel to them.”
