„…The music unfolds a hypnotic, almost psychedelic effect and transports you into another world. Neither Pink Floyd nor Genesis quite managed that!“
„…The duo draws on a colorful palette of instruments and live equipment, complemented by outstanding improvisational skills and a fine instinct for ‚music to dance and dream to‘.“
„…Theremin player Gilda Razani, Hanzō Wanning on keyboards, and percussionist Fethi Ak created a non-religious yet deeply spiritual communal experience through their fascinating interplay of electronic soundscapes and Oriental rhythmic structures. Razani vibrated imaginary strings in the magnetic fields of her theremin, Wanning painted melancholic tonal colors with the synthesizer and played with power on the keyboard, while Ak delivered a dense, ethnically tinted fireworks display of delicate rhythms on djembe and tablas.
The fact that Razani, who originally comes from Iran, dedicated several pieces to the women who lost their lives in the fight against the regime there added a necessary political dimension to the concert. The sound world of this trio can be heard at techno festivals like Fusion—yet here in this church, it unfolded a spiritual intimacy that will surely remain unique.“
„…While Gilda Razani plays the theremin in a ‚classical‘ sense, one often thinks of electric guitar sounds that you wouldn’t expect from this instrument. Yet she is an incredible virtuoso on it. The theremin is often known only as background music, but in Gilda Razani’s hands, the instrument awakens from its slumber. She proves that it has so much more to offer, doing so with a fascinating naturalness. ‚Little Deep Miss Strange‘ is a magnificent album that we wish upon many listeners. Gilda Razani and Hanzō Wanning also fully convince under their new band name Honey Bizarre. Excellent from start to finish and therefore highly recommended!“
…If you had to make musical comparisons, bands like TANGERINE DREAM or PINK FLOYD would be fitting reference points. Just like these two heavyweights, HONEY BIZARRE knows how to evoke a wide variety of moods with seemingly tranquil music.“
„…The duo delivers sounds to which you can dance with closed eyes under strobe lights or simply meditate. It is psychedelic, mystical, chiming, a little eerie, yet relaxing and beautiful.“
„…This clearly comes from people who have a genuine passion for their craft and keep refining it until something almost fantastical emerges—and that is exactly what these songs are. The musical execution here is flawless, and their knack for blending sonic textures to create massive, far-reaching sounds that evolve into a melody with real momentum is absolutely incredible. That is part of what captivates you when listening to the album. They get experimental, they have fun, and it’s music that makes you think, which I love. I give this album a 9 out of 10, which is pretty rare. Beautiful from start to finish, and the fascination remains. I want more!“
„Was that jazz? Was that techno? Well, in any case, it was pretty brilliant! Honey Bizarre took Gdanska into a new dimension with their electronic music. A top-class performance. More of this, please!!!“
„…Even those who previously claimed that electronic music is artificial and soulless will have no choice but to let themselves be carried away by these sounds to places of longing.“
„…That was evident during the concert evening: how you rocked the night, spellbound the audience, and turned the show into an unforgettable experience was simply magnificent.“
„…If you can’t experience them live, you can immerse yourself in their dreamy, expansive sounds with an album and headphones for an (un)exciting getaway.“
