"Destined for cult status, this should be the guitar record of choice for 
electronica admirers--- or the fave electronica album for guitar fans."
            BillBoard Magazine (usa)

"..... a chillingly wonderful instrumental CD. Brilliant stuff."
            Keyboard Magazine (usa)

"It's the kind of experience that had me shaking my head & saying, 'Holy 
shit, what was that?!'. Other flash guitarists can give you occasional 
transcendent licks, but on this (SPLaTTeRCeLL) CD, Torn gives you a 
67-minute 
cosmic package".
            Alternative Press (usa)

"Damn, this is one gorgeous mind-wrangle of a record!"
            Splendid
