Reviews:

... guitars and synthesizers determine the unique world of sound of Leykam/Mark. The album of Leykam/Mark will become sought after for collectors. (GITARRE & BASS 4/98)

... Instant Influx is soundtrack, is extensive ambient, ist pleasant new age. (ORKUS 5/98)

... hardly catchable soundscapes, which seem to be from a different world. (LOOP 5/98)

... instead to indulge oneself in spheres and sequences, Leykam/Mark make music with the spirit of experiments and spontaneous improvisation. (KEYBOARDS 4/98)

... an unusual album which knows how to captivate its listeners with wild but spartan arrangements regarding the choice of means. (BLACK 4/98)

... strange blend of harmonic soundscapes and bewildering sounds. Tracks of exceptional beauty and absolute soothing effect. (EQUINOXE 7/98)
