'..an irresistible musical vision where genres and styles mix and live together in harmony'
'..one of the most interesting releases this year'
'..a record with hard rock and electro thumping, jamming and hip-hop beats, mystical preaching and political ponderings, speech samples and beatboxing.. dissonant chords and overwhelmingly beautiful melodies, flamenco and big band, synthetic sounds, sampling and weird collages....eclectic, but still charmingly simple'
'A Ruff Guide to...Pilgrim Speakeasy' makes the impossible possible and combines influences adopted from an enormous field and crafts them into a living, breathing entity – an album that sums up nearly everything ever done in rock into a new collage with mystic-political messages that drill straight into the listener’s brain.'
'Pilgrim Speakeasy albums are always cool... arguably the most adventurous and successful album in the Pilgrim Speakeasy catalog.'
Welcome to The Speakeasy
"...Now rather exitingly the musical maveric is back. Empowered by t'internet a new generation of musicians can be as experimental as they like without having to worry about how it sounds to an A&R man. One such artist is Pilgrim Speakeasy who combines the funkadelics with a political and mystical message, the likes of which HOLV has never heard ..."
- Heaven Or Las Vegas magazine interview.
"...experimental and creative, the melding of funk sounds with world music and hard rock into a celebration of musical exploration. I like this disc a lot – and if you give it a chance, you probably will, too..."
- Gary Hill. (Music Street Journal review of the Moon Emperor album.)
