" It mixes on the guitar styles of Dave Gilmour with the hypnotic melody's of the Ozric Tentacles and Eat Static, with some samples of Porcupine Tree. If you like the melody's & sounds of the afore mentioned bands you will ultimately like this"…………………...…..Jose Luis Martinez, Atropos Magazine.

"So you like the Ozrics eh? Check this out! More raw and electronic sounding then our tentacled cousins, this best selling album is a truly a rare thing. Expanding on the space rock genre successfully while retaining all of the essential elements" …....…..………..…Medium Moose Records.

This CD is excellent. Its nothing particularly innovative or gargantuan, but it is a thoroughly consistent instrumental, synth dominated, CD which mixes melody & rhythm, using synths, psychedelic, dub & acid, all to excellent effect, with elements of Ozrics, Eat Static, ' KlingKlang style Kraftwerk, Laswell, Hillage-era Gong & more. Albeit in a modern setting, this still has lots of Blake-style synth washes, consistently solid & crisp rhythm bases from synths & electronic/acoustic drums, occasional Ozrics / Hillage style guitar solos ( particularly the amazing last 2 cuts ) and its a really enjoyable set of instrumentals.-excellently produced from start to finish. ............................................................................….Andy G..CD Services.

Wind & Wire Magazine

Hints of Gong, Steve Hillage and Ozric Tentacles abound on this recording. One minute there's a heavy dub rhythm with bleeps, blips and very spaced-out squelchy things running around, then its full on rock/blues guitar leaping out at you when your not looking. Chuck in some Middle Eastern styling here and there, add some fat sounding bass lines, and PARADOX trips along easily enough. But the time to really stand up, turn up the volume, and push the furniture against the walls and Dance is with " Amazonia." There's a little melody then more rhythm, while the patterns and sequences move around, phasing in & out and raising a sweat. Skipping to "Silica Extract," heavier power chords join us with distorted lead in tow. " Pulsar" the nine minute finale, is just great space rock guitar at a slow, reggae beat. ……………….......................................................…Neil Leacy, Wind & Wire Magazine, 1998.

Paradox - Ecliptic

Great new album from this UK band who feature the guitar of Dave Russell. This is UK free festival instrumental psychedelic mushroom rock at its' best heavily influenced by the Ozrics and Hillage. Well worth checking out! ..............................................Delerium Records 2001

Although I've only heard the sound samples on the Paradox web site, these are very high quality, and there are two full-length songs to audition. The sound is very much like Ozric Tentacles or You-era Gong, lots of Tim Blake style synthesizer washes. The guitar work here is more interesting (to me) than Ozric Tentacles, though. Dave Gilmour and Steve Hillage come to mind as influences, and maybe even a little jazzy Jeff Beck too......

Ecliptic......, more trippy space rock and lots more guitar is evident on this release vs. Russell’s earlier effort, Paradox. This go round is a very strong echo of artists like Ozric Tentacles and Steve Hillage.Russell has outdone himself on this one. If anyone out there was fortunate enough to ever obtain Neil Nappe’s July release on the defunct Audion label, they will really enjoy the cut, “Madrigal”! Last trak is a live cut featuring Kimtain Hawker on keys and synths. Russell wails on axe unencumbered with synth duties. Recommended to all Ozric Tentacles, Hillage, Hawkwind, Floyd and psych/ space rock lovers. ............................................................................................................................John Patterson , allaboutjazz.com
