reviews:

"'adjunct (cheju mix)' concludes the e.p. and cheju does what he does best: well-executed programming, melodic construction and quite a lot of atmosphere with a high nostalgic factor fused with high production quality. with 16 releases so far and a furious release schedule boltfish is a label that goes from clarity to clarity." - electronic desert, 05.05

"more from the much loved boltfish stable. the internet based, free music label that has really begun to gather momentum. the latest offering comes as a six track ep, with a couple of familiar names such as mint and cheju doing some remix magic. first up is 'solafjell' a spacious track with eerie chords and crackling electronica feeding a scene of moody movement and dreamy vibes. 'kopervic' is an electrified track, with some mesmerising electronica inside its spitting soul. 'akra' lifts the tempo and builds a nice track with beats and tempo, but with plenty of the soundscape to enjoy. 'solafjell (druid mix)' is again a track loaded with magical sounds and oceans of mellow vibes. 'pivotal moments' 'adjunct (cheju mix)' round things off with more cracking electronica." - untitledmusic, 06.05

"the new release features three karmøy originals plus three remixes, two of which are tracks from the first ep re-interpreted by boltfish co-owners mint (murray fisher) and cheju (wil bolton) ... a melancholy breeze whistles through the delicate 'solafjell' with its suction-styled backing of shimmying drum machine patterns and sparkling synth layers (druid later takes the song on a less melancholic stroll in a glissandi-laced remix). in contrast to its retiring ambiance, the soulful 'akra' drapes atmospheric washes over a rubbery bass line and buoyant beats in uplifting manner. the aforementioned remixes impress too: bathed in showers of reverberant shimmer, mint gives 'pivotal moments' a stately, house-flavoured 'tundra' mix while cheju's 'adjunct' mix leisurely lopes through densely textured thickets." - textura, 06.05
