Thanks! 070104 Here are some more press quotes about our debut album: "A really beautiful album" (De Bergske Blade, Oct 17, 2006). "Lyrical and beautiful music, at times fuga-like" (Jazz Special, Dec 2006). "I warmly recommend going for a 45 minute exploration of Pauseland" (<a href="http://www.dagbladet-holstebro-struer.dk/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061202/DBB/112020214/1009/HOLSTEBRO" target="_blank" >Dagbladet Holstebro-Struer</a>, Dec 2, 2006). "Incredibly well-sounding, laid-back music" (Femina, Dec 14, 2006). A longer quote, in Danish: "En cd, som lægger så meget op til behagelig inaktivitet, at der skal mere end almindelig virkelyst til at modstå fristelsen. Cd'en "Pauseland" er fantastisk vellydende, tilbagelænet musik, skabt til alle de gode pauser, hvor hjernen får lov at slappe så meget af, at der bliver plads til tanker. Jakob Buchanan, Christian Vuust, Søren Dahl Jeppesen og Klaus Nørgaard har gjort frikvarteret til en musikalsk kunstform, som alle burde unde sig selv."
