“…Η μουσική του «Dream Within A Dream» μοιάζει να έρχεται από μια darkwave αποικία στο φεγγάρι…”

Δημήτρης Καραθάνος | Athens Voice  (GR)

 

“Βάλτε μαζί σε ένα mixer το πρώτο άλμπουμ των Portishead, τοViolator των DM με ολίγη από Aphex Twin/Autechre (του Amber και του Incunabula) και Boards of Canada και αντιλαμβάνεστε περίπου πού κινούνται οι MvT.”

Γιώργος Χριστόπουλος | Soundgaze (GR)

 

“Το “Dream Within A Dream” είναι ένα συμπαγές αριστοτεχνικά δομημένο και σμιλεμένο διαμάντι, μία από τις καλύτερες και πιο ολοκληρωμένες κυκλοφορίες του είδους τα τελευταία χρόνια στην εγχώρια παραγωγή.”

Mike Nikolitsis | Το Υπόγειο (GR)

 

“MVT is in that edgy tribe which develops musical and artistic novelties and who are not afraid at all to blend their songs with various elements away from the old-school and the previous dogmas. […] they are the modern synthwave pioneers among a handful of others too who simply and so proudly release the one anthemic album after the other”

Mike D. | The Record Stache, Florida (US)

 

“At times darksome and dancey (Secret Lover/ Perfect Sync), but mostly introspective, gripping and moony (Unconcern / What Is It About You Me That You Love / Silk). From darkwave (Somebody New) to twilight electro pop (Fame And Gold / Reaching The Stars) Overall a multi-layered work of innovative and compelling songwriting blessed with Marva Voulgari‘ impressive vox. “

Turn Up the Volume (Belgium)

 

“The least I can say is that this duo doesn’t deal with a cheap emulation of an electronic established music style and/or band.(…) It’s an intimate approach revealing the beautiful and sometimes sensual vocals of Marva mixed with a modest sonic composition.”

Stéphane Froidcoeur | Side-Line Magazine (Belgium)

 

“The track “Dead in Berlin” has a pensive air, as if straight out of a classic movie, as Marva Voulgari and Theo Foinidis uncoil string inspired synths that lead the song to work its way beat by beat, moment by moment to an uncertain resolution; morally ambiguous but very captivating.”

Mark Buckley | Electronic North (UK)

 

“When listening to Dream Within A Dream, there is this sense of hopefulness buried within the darkness and foreboding themes that run throughout each of the tracks. With Voulgari’s jazzy, bluesy vocals, it is hard not to feel like you are falling into an endless void, but in a good way. “

Aaron Mannari | Lemonade Magazine (Seattle, US)

 

“This newest song, Dead in Berlin is slow and textured, bringing wave forward and allowing the listener to soak in the sonic-lines that we can hear, whipping through vintage and modern synth sounds. It’s as if you can visually follow the synth zaps. Piercing and painful vocals top this cake off…”

Synthpop Sound (New Orleans, US)

 

“A voz seduz-nos, a música é cativante, o todo conseguindo criar uma atmosfera particular que nos envolve.”

Nuno Almeida | Projecto Cellophane (Portugal)

 

“If this is the future of synthwave, I want more of it.”

Vacant Ceremony (UK)

 

“…one of the best albums I have heard this year”

Matt Jensen | Divide and Conquer (Chicago, USA)

 

“ There is so much going on under the vocals that it’s easy and enjoyable to listen to this album. After each time through, you’ll hear different aspects of the song; a clever percussion loop, a previously hidden synth drum or a settled vocal backing and strange but well-placed blips and beeps.”

Dj Wolf | Sonic ReCon (Australia), Brutal Resonance (Sweden) | YouTube Video Review

 

“Il cantato in questa band è tanto elettrizzante e seduce letteralmente l’ascoltatore. Musica sicuramente emozionale, sentimentale e melanconica quella di Marva Von Theo, un trip sonoro che rapirà il cuore di tanti amanti di una certa elettronica.”

System Failure (Italy)

 

“dodici brani in cui i due danno fondo a tutta la loro creatività e abilità compositiva, che non è poca, visto che riescono a spaziare dalle atmosfere bluesy di Unconcern all’ambient-new age di Secret Lover e Reaching the Stars (in quest’ultimo caso mischiandolo con l’elettronica 80ies e condendo il tutto con un bel coro hip hop).”

Saverio Paletta | L’IndYgesto (Italy)

 

“Πρόκειται για τραγούδια που περιστρέφονται με τρόπο ουσιαστικό γύρω από τα ζητήματα των σχέσεων, αρθρώνοντας έναν όχι κοινότοπο λόγο και σίγουρα απολύτως πειστικό, που μπορεί να ενδιαφέρει τους πάντες. Βεβαίως, αυτή η πειστικότητα έχει να κάνει και με τις ερμηνείες τής Βούλγαρη, που είναι, φρονώ, το πολύ μεγάλο ατού τού άλμπουμ. Χαίρεσαι ν’ ακούς τέτοιες φωνές – πόσω μάλλον όταν ερμηνεύουν και τόσο γερά τραγούδια.”

Φώντας Τρούσας | Δισκορυχείον (GR)

..

“Χωρίς να βαραίνουν από φτηνές μελοδραματικές εξάρσεις ή ζοφερές μουσικές κλίμακες, τα τραγούδια αγαπάνε το neon και την υγρή νυχτερινή αστική ατμόσφαιρα απαλλαγμένα από εσωτερικές διαταράξεις και υπόγεια ένταση.”

.

“…μας χαρίζει μία (επιτέλους) ποικιλία στην αρμονία και λυρικότατες μελωδικές γραμμές, που στέκονται στιβαρά πάνω από καλοφτιαγμένα τραγούδια.”

Clocksound.gr (GR)

 

“…it is the vocals of Marva Voulgari that sets this record apart. Here clean, powerful voice is a rare phenomenon, with its soulful character, stylistic mastery and inescapable presence.”

Floorshime Zipper Boots (Kansas City, US)

 

“…este disco vale cada minuto”
