"Marumari has never been one to dismiss in the super saturated world of IDM. Taking more inspiration from classic video game score composers than from "last weeks favorite" electronica release, The Wolves Hollow is an incredible statement filled with sweeping obscure melody soundscapes and soothing beats that compliment rather than dominate. The album flows in an unpredictable but elegant manner, kissing the foreheads of dub, ambient, hip-hop and trance. Although the sci-fi wolf fable suggested in the liner notes and track titles seems more an afterthought that a compositional theme... It does introduce a light sense of playfulness which reminds me that Marumari is much more humble than one would expect from an artist with his talent. If The Wolves Hollow lacks in perfection, it merely does so in promise of what's to come from Marumari down the road. I'll be waiting anxiously."

"Impressive. I am a former college radio dj and am familiar with many artists and musical genres. This cd really "wowed" me. Maybe not at first, however on my second and third listens, I knew this to be a gem. There is quite a bit of distilled imagination at work here on this album and it is quite refreshing to hear. Taking a bizzare take on the idea of a "concept album" in a fun and new way, this is glitchy, organic electronic music for the new millenium. Telling the story of intergalactic space wolves, we hear some epic tracks get laid down. Marumari often uses some tracks as "bridges" or lead-ins to other tracks. So that there are actually 6 or 7 real songs and the others are 50 second "intro" tracks.



All in all, it's a very fun and new romp through the world of electronic music. I enjoyed it very much and thank Amazon.com for allowing me access to music that is new, creative, and intelligent. Thanks Marumari!"

21rst century cosmic sound genius

"BRILLIANT!! This CD BLEW ME AWAY. This artist has created such a complex electronic sound that he's no doubt driven by some extraordinarily unearthly force, which makes me wonder can that crazy cowbrain eating alien wolf story in the cd be true? This marumari guy is PURE GENIUS and anyone who listens to this will agree totally. Layer upon layer upon layer of pure scintilating cosmic sound. OUT OF THIS WORLD!"
