    Esse é um álbum que apresenta, no meu ponto de vista, uma forma bem alternativa de se tocar o trompete. No minimo o som dele é atraente pra quem visa novas técnicas ou procura expandir a mente e, esse álbum, faz muito bem. Exige uma certa concentração pra quem esta escutando, não funciona como entretenimento mas é uma ótima peça pra escutar uma vez ou outra.

    Whether with Supersilent or on his own, Arve Henriksen has demarcated his own world of sound, communicating in ways that are sometimes inscrutable but always deeply felt. [Jul 2017, p.53]

    The results are largely sublime. [Aug 2017, p.91]

    Throughout Towards Language, the emergent notion of "slow jazz"--music that unfolds deliberately in a communal context rather than the accepted soloist and accompaniment formula--is almost defined. Its individual utterances are elementary building blocks that collectively move toward an artfully realized goal of musical speech. It achieves its power from the sum total of its sounds and atmospheres. Magnificent.
