"in england two things you would not normally associate germans with are humour and sexiness [hey, it's a national pastime!], especially the latter. but that would be a grave misjudgment because the female half of the duo has the kind of crystal clear, breathy voice that was made for serenading... the music? a slowburning electronica heaven that is gentle and non-aggressive... sort of silje nergaard meets susumu yokota... irregular beats, some wondrous melodies, like "morgen"... filesharing is one of those rare albums, like goldfrapp's felt mountain, that has its own distinctive sound without seeming repetitive or complacent. every track stems from the same source but holds its own fort... me likes... but a word of warning, beautiful as i feel it is, this wont appeal to all tastes... definately worth a try...."

"...is wrapped into every inch of this amazingly beautiful album. LAUB even beat BJORK to the IDM punch long ago on their equally worthy album "Kopflastig" release which this album smartly resembles. Recommended for all adventurous admirers of electro-etherealism who also appreciated the magical intimacies of an album like BJORK's "Vespertine".....LAUB's "Filesharing" is an instant classic and easily a candidate as one of the best albums released in 2002. A sonic land of wonder and enchantment (even with every song sung in German.....but please don't be so foolish to let that stop you....some music is beyond human language....like this.)"
