“If there’s one musician who acts as a heartbeat of the [Reykjavik Jazz] festival, then it’s Icelandic drummer-composer Einar Scheving. He crops up frequently in several different settings, showing impressive versatility...But it is when he leads his own group that Scheving comes into his own as both a writer and player." 
Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise 

“music penetrated by poetry and warmth, which goes to your heart and gives your imagination a lot to dream about...Already in the first song, it became clear that this concert was one of the highlights of the festival.” 
Axel Engels, EV-Online, Germany 

“Some albums are like stories. The music of Cycles is ethereal and vivid, like a story that unfolds within a dream...This album is just flat-out beautiful, and emotive as hell.”
