Salt Peanuts:
“Almost the entire Shameless roster has contributed to this DIY compilation, and all eight pieces radiate a strong sense of urgency. …. Plenty of interesting music, sounds and noises that would guarantee a better karma for those who purchase it.”
Chain DLK:
"It’s a bonus that the music is not terrible at all. Eight artists have each contributed thoughtful standalone pieces of mostly-instrumental, mostly-electronica. Given the Sea-Watch theme, of course this is sincere downtempo music and not party time, but as a 46-pack of brooding modern music, it’s really rich…. You should be giving to this charity, you know you should. The convenience of this Bandcamp method, plus the fact you get eight really interesting Shameless tracks into the bargain, means you should do it by buying this.”
Art Noir:
““Sea-Watch” ist […] keine angenehme Begegnung, sondern eine Klangwelt diverser Personen, welche die Härte der Situation nicht beschönigen wollen. Zugleich ist dieser Sampler der beste Beweis für das soziale Denken: Eine kleine Gruppe schliesst sich zusammen, um solidarisch für eine Besserung einzustehen. Da gibt es also nur ein Imperativ: Mitmachen, Unterstützen, Spenden.”

odd instrumentation and a psychedelic approach to music, the freedom and constant search for new sonic horizons is something we feel really close to our vision, One of the best act these days.
