"Although reminiscent at times of Jaco-era Joni Mitchell, this double album feels genuinely experimental. And it's often an exhilarating listen, the singer and the multi-instrumentalist (and their 12 excellent fellow musicians) attempting to explore genuinely new ground. Tippetts has a remarkable voice, of course, her melodies are appealingly serpentine, to borrow a title of one of their previous collaborations. The whole edifice exists right at the edge of song form, hence the echoes of Joni Mitchell - or indeed of 1970s Robert Wyatt, who still regards Tippetts' 1975 album Sunset Glow as a companion piece to his own Rock Bottom." - Marcus O'Dair, JAZZWISE

"All in all it has an almost magical aura, a very special, intense atmosphere, supported by Julie Tippetts' wonderful voice. Most impressive is the closing "Stalking the Vision", with an extremely dense and complex arrangement which slides with intensity around the speakers. Terrific! Vestigium offers its own and distinctive collection of songs that stand in the tradition of the weightier representative of Canterbury School, or more generally, the more experimental British jazz rocks from the 70s, projects and bands, in which Julie Driscoll was sometimes even then involved. So if for example you like the music of Soft Machine (for "Third"), Centipede , Keith Tippett's Ark or the 70 works of Robert Wyatt estimates, you will have a lot of fun with Vestigium." - ACHIM BRIELING, BABYBLAUE SEITEN
