"Robair is
an enormously talented percussionist, with a through going musicality
and an instinct for the unexpected" Penguin Guide to Jazz
"Thomas
Lehn's ancient analogue synthesizer is an honestly electronic sound
source, but he plays it with pianistic animation, a responsive
improvisor in an ever-shifting, fluid and powerful music" Coda

Penguin Guide to Jazz
"The Thing are jazz, but not as you know it ... the influence of some
of free jazz's most fiery performers have intermingled with a
grounding in rock and roll, resulting in a headbang friendly dynamic
that appeals outside jazz circles." BBC

"Nameless Sound classes went beyond music. They
created a deep trust in myself that I had been hopelessly trying to
understand for years. They made me sensitive to the person I was
becoming and who I am today." former Nameless Sound student
