"The songs are quite diverse , but they all have in common that they are very evocative and beautiful. LITANGEN has found a core that is real ,sincere and obviously him. He has no need to show us how good he is in technical terms - he has a need to show us who he are, and that is definitely what he does " 5/6 Tor Hammerø, Nettavisen -Norway
