Rapture!: d’Hoogpoorte: Great music to dream away of unreachable horizons.
The absence of percussion makes this CD an unique and gracious album."
Alfa-Centauri ...this is a spacy album with an atmospheric character... the tracks 'See the Trees Dance' and 'Lost in Space' are true pearls..."
Amazing Sounds: Here we have 53 minutes of imaginative sonic voyages shaped in eight pieces. The style, between Ambient and Space Music, has passages where the synthesizers create dense, powerful atmospheres. Other parts possess a great melodic beauty with romantic airs. Venja is one of those artists that know how to take us into musical landscapes full of beauty and mystery. In a few words, a work that will enthusiasm the aficionados to electronic music in general.
A Dash of Soul: d'Hoogpoorte: "Fresh sounding CD from Venja... again the angelic voice of Reinhilde on four tracks,... Quiet and beautiful. The soft percussion and the perfect balance makes this an excellent CD ."
KLEM: "I'm impressed!... Here you can see why I.C. releases Venja's music!... Perfect cover, perfect recording. It keeps you listening and it's full of nice surprises. The atmosphere in the music is terrific!"
NewSounds: "...spiritual, spacy, atmospherical. It paints a precious aquarelle, it sounds impressive wide and deep. It takes you away and now and then it brings you back to earth,... Infinite vocals of
Reinhilde Weytjens. " * artist of the month (Nuova Era - Jan.1997) *
SoundDesign: There are musical talents that possess a sound remarkable in quality but also in individualism that deserve special recognition. Not since Patrick O' Hearn came on the scene in the 1980s has an artist done this with quite the finesse of Venja. Not afraid to use angelic female vocals or to span from deep ambiance to more traditional songs, Venja's strong musical sensibilities can remind one just how good it is to hear a truly good tune. Dash of Soul, his third major studio album, has been his most popular album to date, but it signals the continued artistic growth of an already interesting discography.
Floating Silence: d'Hoogpoorte: "With this project Venja and Symbian realized a some nice relax music, it takes you to unknown horizons and brings you in a floating state of mind ...an excellent album."
Cashmere Moon: Keyboards France: "Perfect production, dream away along peaceful atmospheres."
Sequences U.K.: "A beautiful album of heartwarming melodies,... a very fine album for those late nights,... a sure winner."
KLEM: "...a professional CD,... choose a nice hearing volume and enjoy."
Neu Harmony U.K.: "Undoubtly we are in the company of a quality musician here, ...Reinhilde Weytjens' vocals are ethereal in style and no doubt the purity of her delivery will enchant many..."
d'Hoogpoorte: "This beautifully performed music enters your body into each part, each bone. It carries you, heals you. It takes you away, it brings you back to who you are and what you are..." * Best buy selection CD *
Arcadia: d'Hoogpoorte: "Fresh production, clear mix... You must hear this one!"
Waves D: "Quiet and melodic music to relax in the evenings."
Sequences U.K.: "Stunning debut!"
