norman records names it
"album of the
week" (8th october 2010)!
"throughout
regen:tropfen, matern’s mastery of the piano and her
classical training are highlighted, the melodies are deep and powerful,
as well as possessing an exceptional beauty. regen:tropfen is an
exquisite modern classical work which introduces maike zazie matern as
an exceptional talent whose star is surely on the rise."
fluid radio
"een
onwaarschijnlijk mooi droomdebuut."
caleidoscoop
"if
you're into yann tiersen, max richter and hauschka then this album has
elements of all of those guys in and you should more than likely take
note of this amazing album!"
norman records
"piano
notes fall like, yes, raindrops while tinkles add bell-like lustre and
occasional electronic accents add percussive flavour."
textura
"zazie’s
intricate blend of piano scales, gooseflesh samples, and faint busker
strumming show even the classically trained can capture the city."
cokemachineglow

album is gorgeous/nigh perfect."
