"'Clouds Under The Table' is an excellent and eclectic work, with countless influences. A never-boring instrumental album that offers surprises after many listening" - NetMusic Life
"'Ambient' might begin to describe this music, but the presence of Discepoli's relatively straightforward drumming gives the compositions more of a rootedness and energy than that to which most typical Electronic Ambient music lays claim" - All About Jazz
"A vibrant and rich sonic color palette combined with soul shaking melodies and a live drum set move this music to a post Rock/Jazz Fusion line where it music rests comfortably while creating an ambient pulse. [... ]Clouds Under The Table is a well thought out and impeccably performed sonic food for the visceral as well as the cerebral" - Critical Jazz
