Road Records Website Review
Ireland's Leading Independent Music Shop
'A truly beautiful collection of music composed to accompany screenings
of faust and the cabinet of dr caligari. 3epkano are a dublin based
collective making some of the most amazing classically based post rock
sounds, their is a bit of everything from the rachels to the quieter
moments of godspeed and even philip glass and steve reich, a really
enthralling blend of cellos, violins, electric guitars and drums.'
Hot Press, Colm O'Hare, June 2006,
'A beautifully recorded and exquisitely performed
album with such understated and dramatically building pieces as Lullaby
for Isabelle and Here's Hoping'.
