"You guys are totally fantastic... brilliant music. You really did make everyone excited and into it. They all just got up and danced, as well as being fascinated too. Truely, Thank-You." Sylvie Stern Radio 2XX presenter and night-club manager, in reference to ELF's set at Radio 2XX's 26th Birthday fundraiser concert.

"... excellent would be an understatement... the variety of electronic sounds on this is amazing... distinct acid crunch... layers of sounds ranging from electronica, to acid, to hardcore... consistent beats, bass sequences... original and clever..." Gavin Dennet, Bands Music Action (BMA) magazine, Canberra, Australia, April 1999. Review of "Aphazia 1992-98", the combined ELF & EYE CD-r.

"... tweaky tech electro with a tasty twist of disco... satisfy your cravings... " G-Man, BMA magazine, Canberra, Australia, July 2002, Review of "Live @ XXL"

"... a tripped-out electronica-doof-acid feast... beats ranging from trance to drum & bass and trip-hop... burbling acid synths... the track "Sunday November 98" is a totally dreamy quirky piece of acid-trance, makes me shiver like fond memories from a childhood photo. And so does "Aphazia", with it's layering, mystical female croons in a language from another star, and climactic epileptic jungle-industrial beats... "Mass Media Programming (of Criminal Behaviour)" is quirky and crunchy like Autechre and early Aphex Twin ... "Psychological Warfare" is punchy trip-hop, full of cleverly placed word samples to make points about globalisation and police state technology & laws... "Look back in history"... driving trance reminiscent of Sven Vath's classic "Accident in Paradise" with awesome mechanical riff noises, while "CIA hypno-programmed robot assassin" cheekily and brilliantly contrasts euphoric hands-up-in-the-air hard-edged electronica with a rather disturbing X-file conspiracy theme..." Teknoid Muzak zine, USA, April 2000 - review of a preview CD-r.
