"You may feel that noise music as an experimental genre has grown stale, that once its farthest extremes reached, nothing can surprise you or be innovative to your ears. Behold PHÔ's debut CD, a highly refreshing take on the high-octane noise fest.
...sound like hardcore free jazz anthems (think Melt Banana covering Albert Ayler).....
yet finesse doesnt rule out decibel levels...This is Handiwork is a rollercoaster ride through 10 fast-paced pieces"
Francois Couture All-Music Guide/CFLX.

"Flutes and drums may sound like a strange line up, but the result is even stranger....certainly not improvised music for the weak at heart"
Frans de Waard Vital Weekly

"FLUTE SENSATION IN RYTHMIC AVALANCHE
. . ..this norwegian/swiss trio (...) takes your breath away. Habbestads flutes are sensational, a sonic revelation displayed carefully and effectivly... Pho never gives in to the temptation of overdoing it, they let go of their ideas in time, before they are emptied and the energy exhausted. More than anything, the musical expression is restless. Pho moves on - no matter where."
Helge Olsen Bergens Tidende

"There seems to be no end to it. We are talking about the stream of new and exciting constellations in Norwegian jazz and improvised music.... Let it be said: this is not music for weaklings! In Bergen, with cult producer J¿rgen Tr¾en aka Sir Duperman... they have created as free a musical environment as well thinkable... Here are unimaginable amounts of energy crossed with a total lack of compromisse that you just have to admire. In addition, the egocentric, wich haunts so much music, is put away to make room for ph™ - the collective. "
