"I highly concur with the reviewers below: this album is a breath of fresh air, and -- as trite as this sounds -- delicious. It's impossible to not compare, and although I would say it's more reminiscent of newer TD than older, its personal identity is what really stands out.
If you've been disappointed with TD's output over the last decade, you can't go wrong by giving this album a listen. It's very nice, dreamy stuff by someone with a fresh, unjaded perspective.
Well done, Jerome; please stick around, I'm really looking forward to the next album."
Froese junior beats Froese senior hands down

"Sensational stuff from Jerome and light years ahead of anything T Dream itself is capable of producing these days. If tracks that come from nowhere, do nothing and go nowhere are your thing, stick to T Dream and Edgar's current releases. If you like the opposite and the Dream Mixes groove of electronics, guitars and upbeat tracks then Neptunes is an absolute must. It might sound a bit new agey in places at first, but stick with it and after a few plays you'll be hooked. Track 10 - Murder Mystery Dinner Train - is probably the highlight."

"Energetic guitarwork over spacey electronic soundscapes make this the best Tangerine Dream release not by Tangerine Dream!Son of Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese the first solo project by Jerome Froese is far better than his father's solo projects.With the exception of the great musical pieces on Tangerine Dream's new Jean D'Arc the instrumental pieces on this album outshine most recent Tangerine Dream releases!Back in the mainstream Gwen Stefani had huge success when she made her solo album without her group No Doubt.Jerome Froese achieves that same level of success here.If you're a Tangerine Dream fan the solo releases of Edgar Froese aren't really essential.Neptunes however is essential to all Tangerine Dream fans."
