Just Amazing
author: Kim in England
Just like Oli's live performances this CD keeps you entertained and hooked until the last note is played, it cant help but hold your interest as well as relaxing you at the same time. Sound Bites is an all rounder, play it whilst having dinner with friends, whilst you're in the bath relaxing, trying to sleep or wanting some escape from the madness of the day! Heartfelt touching work, I look forward to another release.

WOW
author: MKchicago
This is one of the most amazing artists I have heard in the last several years. He is definitely worth a minute of your time. I first encountered Mr. Kraus on tour with David Gray in Western Europe and was immediately enthralled. His skill at melding pop culture with classical cello is unparalleled. I can't wait for his next compilation. My only regret is that his solo effort 'Sound Bites' will be forgotten amoungst Sia's new found success. Best of luck to Olli from his most dedicated fan!!!

Blissfully relaxing

Add me to the list of people who had been begging Oli to release a CD of his gorgeous music! If you are a fan of ambient music soundscapes, film soundtracks, or groups like Penguin Cafe Orchestra from the UK or Kila from Ireland, you will be glad you listened.
