Here’s a recent review from the great website Step Tempest that we’ve had in for We Make The Rules:

“Jochen Rueckert has created a mesmerizing collection of songs – real songs, not just riffs to “blow over” – that get lodged in your mind. You’ll want to explore these musical trails time and again.”
