"Style wise 281F seems to blend latter era Beatles to something altogether more European pop - but with some real musical nouse in terms of composition and performance. Add in a decidedly Lawrence Gowan (Styx/solo) like vocal delivery from Deferrari and the sounds Nanaue create make for a pleasing, if gently, eclectic mix", Steven Reid, Sea of Tranquillity, USA

"Any multi-national configuration that waxes lyrical about ‘Lancashire’ -  “My life would flow without shakes / pork pies, black pudding all day/my tan will fade in the misty rain/because I’m leaving for Lancashire’ – has our vote.  It’s as bizarre as it is endearing and it needs a wider audience", David Randall, GetReadytoRock, UK

"The unorthodox format of the songs is noteworthy, never in a verse-chorus format, but based on poems set to music, and in a storytelling approach. In this sense, the calmer themes are reminiscent of the work of Chris de Burgh , while in the more rock-oriented ones , it is John Wetton and his projects that seem to come from where the greatest inspiration comes. Regardless of the approach, 28IF is a grand album of refinement and melody", Via Nocturna 2000, PT.

"And now you can forget everything these gentlemen have done before, because their first album together would have astonished even Fred Frith and Chris Cutler, as it has nothing to do with organized musical forms", Babyblaue, Prog Reviews, DE

"This music with four long songs takes some getting used to. Not necessarily for me. Because here it definitely goes in the direction of free jazz, thus not yet specifically free jazz, more avant-garde than small-scale pigeonholing. And the associations tumble for me. I can compare it to Arto Lindsay , Hans Reichel , Achim Knispel , Fred Frith and Derek Bailey, who treated their instruments in a similar way", Rocktimes, DE

"Monty is a fascinating journey through the wild mind of a maverick", PROG magazine, UK

“The surprise of the year. Deferrari touches on territories dear to certain Talk Talk, strips the songs bare and breaks them into lopsided and bloodless rhythms, plays (all the instruments) but also has the good sense to let the music breathe, to piece out silences and spaces. Even the singing, which he can perform at high levels, knows how to take a step back to become subtle and impalpable. The air becomes more torrid, until it catches fire.” (translation from) Fabio Zuffanti’s TOP 5 of 2018, PsycandProg, Italy

“All in all, this is an intriguing ride with some stellar moments'. Gary Hill, Music Street Journal, USA

"In Vuoto our host demonstrates that he is a gifted drummer and bassist, instruments that form the backbone of this well-thought-out song. Get It Right shows the chaos in the Capital, repetitive and rhythmic with unpredictable outliers." John Bobo Bollenberg, iO pages, Netherlands

"Fuoco, an excellent swinging mix of dance, progressive rock, experimental music and rousing rhythms, where sitting still is not an issue. "Monty" by E.D. is a nice sounding album, which contains some fantastic swinging songs and I can wholeheartedly recommend this album, to everyone who loves dance, pop, experimental music and progressive pop rock”,  Carry Munter, New Underground Music, NETHERLANDS

"Unpretentious and personal, even if you don’t speak the language the artsy mood simmers through like the sauce of Monday’s gnocchi", George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly, USA

"Nothing is impossible for one who’s ready to go all the way and make a strange land his own...", Dmitry M. Epstein, DMME Let it Rock, USA

"Expérimental et dérangeant, Monty est un mélange audacieux de jazz, de world et d'avant-garde", Corto, Music Waves, France

"The elegant and refined atmosphere created by the artist, his dreamy voice and some melodic solutions remind of Italian progressive pop of the seventies”, Michele Neri, Vinile, Italy
