Her best CD - simple acoustics, lovely voice, great lyrics

"I have all Antje's CD's. This is my favourite.
Spare guitar backing that enables her voice to command the performance. Very intimate, personal song-style and the talks are very funny and innocent. She took some of these songs to make "Big Dream Boulevarde, which is better recorded but spoiled because the backing musicians dominate the the great voice and emotional sound.
Sweet voice, can go high and be a little husky.
Great lyrics. I'm an old folkey - my son is into expressive modern rock - we both love this CD.
I love her - MORE PLEASE OF THIS STYLE ANTJE!!"
Awesome

"Nice mix of folk rock, politics, jokes and songs about pigs sung in German. Fantastic voice, excellent songwriting. I hear she's recording a new album with Seamus Egan from Solas as producer. Can't wait."
Folk music with modern lyrics

"Antije's music is essentially folk, with clear resonate lyrics and stories explaining them, and few synthesized instruments. Her voice is unique and gorgeous, clear and soaring on high notes, and just a bit husky on low ones.
Her lyrics are interesting, touching on deep and good things, but have surprisingly modern twists even in an essentially folk style song: she'll talk about movies or buses alongside a song with almost sonnet like qualities. This album particularly has a song about Judas which brings the listener sharp stabs of pity for him.
Both her albums are incredibly worth buying."
