Here is what others had to say about Tales from the Oxygen Den:

-------

"(the CD)...is frequently playful, and always danceable. A great start from a label that should make the music for all of clubland."
-Sean Moeller, QC Times

"Tales From The Oxygen Den is a compilation of moderately funky electronic instrumentals. The songs run to a variety of tempos, from faster breakbeats to downtempo hip-hop-influenced tracks to occasional ambient pieces"

"As their first release, this compilation shows that Radical Turf is a label that does not want to limit itself with musical boundaries. Of course, it's electronic music, but since this genre can incorporate practically all styles of music, the spectrum covered by this album is pretty wide. Eleven American projects offer us 15 tracks that reveal a colourful ecclectism and an attractive diversity that can be translated into analog sonorities, samples, acid sequences, downtempo rhythms, Middle Eastern elements, Drum and Bass syncopations, scratching, ambient passages, Hip Hop grooves, Techno pounding beats, deep Dub waves, organic instrumentation such as piano, acoustic guitar, saxophone, bass, drums, tabla... A very promising first offering that should draw attention from all openminded person and everyone else who has the ambition to become one."
