    Beautiful, dark and mischievous, this is an album which is sure to baffle and delight in equal measures.

    While Teardo's shines, balancing a tendency toward simple melodic cells with sweeping trawls of tonality, Bargeld's dry humour still comes through. [Jun 2016, p.81]

    While a little too knowing for some, Nerissimo stands as a fascinating example of two artists in full control, unashamed to lean towards the cerebral without turning the casual listener off.

    Atmospheric chromatic harmonica, swirling strings, shadowy woodwind and Bargeld's rich voice add up to an album demonstrating that black has many shades. [Jun 2016, p.95]

    Twenty five and more years ago, an album made by Teardo and Bargeld would have been a much more experimental and chaotic experience than Nerissimo, which is both a work of highly adept modern composition and a sometimes conniving but always listenable performance by a vocalist who knows that even the most eclectic of audiences require entertainment.

    A definite case of still waters running deep, Nerissimo is a quiet work of craft by two musicians entirely happy to follow their own instincts. Like Spinal Tap.

    Nerrisimo is indeed a dark piece of work, but it’s all the more sublime for it.
