„Maybe the most adventurous and engrossing album of 2018 so far.“
stereoembersmagazine.com (about Agglo):
„Agglo is nothing like anything out there.“
„It’s a swarming, buzzing, neon-lit, almost-noir, past-midnight trip. It’s a bit of escapism. It’s fun.“
„It’s a fucking musical mutt! Big ups to the Me&Mobi’s for not giving a fuck and creating a very original batch of music.“
Jim Black, drummer (USA):
„Me & Mobi – An unexpected new twist on the old piano trio format – intriguing, fascinating, unpredictable, mysterious, powerful moods, and grooving. Their music is an unusual and haunting combination of warmth and ice. Something for the ears, something for the mind, and something for the dance floor.“
