"CDR offers here a good introduction to (some) of the sounds and manners of a genre in constant flux. Far from derivative, playing with and twisting the open source of the given code, this music comes out as mischievous and fun." Jacob Arnold (Gridface)

"CDR - For sure my favorite Japanese breakcore artist. He does a lot of really weird shows, sometimes i think theres something wrong with him but he makes good music" Kilsr (Science Breakz)

"Mr. Simon Petre has concocted a true original, something that is as imaginative as anatomical. Its childlike at times and can also act as a electronic decoder slash scanning system for treated sound diagrams that are only secretly unlocked via infra-red." T.J Norris (Igloomag)

"I can't work out this music at all... I dont know why anyone would call themselves DJ Topgear, but its great." Ed Baxter (Resonance FM)
