quotes:		"Elsie and Jack Recordings, on their debut release, have succeeded at the rarest and most difficult balancing act for anyone who puts together a compilation of experimental music. That is, making a representative documentation of the work of several projects, and yet, keeping a sense of continuity, or flow, throughout. Chair is a brilliant, opiate ride from point A to point B without a single mediocre moment. Every track is a keeper, even the pieces from the "bigger" names such as Rapoon, Brume or Füxa. And then we are completely undone by newer names as well: Totemplow, Mlehst, Flutter, Monera, Pregnant Pause and Tabata with Tatsuya Yoshida. The artwork on the disc is top-notch as well, heavy cardstock type stuff with very non-typical artwork. Just an excellent piece of work all the way around. A gem from a promising new label." V.M.Harrigan MANIFOLD RECORDS "I would recommend this to anyone who has a wide range of tastes for electronic and experimental music." Gabe NAPALM JESUS "The debut release for the pioneering noise imprint, James Rodriguez' Elsie + Jack, is a globe-trotting compilation of the brightest and best experimental/noise artists. The range of sounds and atmospheres is quite unexpected, and well worthy of praise." Keith Farley THE ALL MUSIC GUIDE "All in all, a swell introduction to both the label and all of the artists, not to mention a hip way to preview the Tabata and Shifts discs. A suave move in every sense. Investigate." The Moon Unit DEAD ANGEL "Touches on some of the more interesting experimental projects currently working, including tracks by Brume and Mlehst that are particularly good. A strong disc. Rating: 8.5" Matt Vanek ENNUI "In all a compilation of varied music, which somehow fits together quite well, and with those upcoming releases, Elsie & Jack is certainly a label to watch out for."
