Otto Lindholm(Icarus records/Vynilla Vinyls, 2016) « At once dangerous and stunningly beautiful » FACT
« An absolutly incredible piece of music » Mary Anne Hobbs « An incredible odyssey. A great year for classical deconstruction / detonation / disintegration with records by Roly Porter, Paul Jebanasam and Otto Lindholm » The Bug

Alter(Gizeh Records, 2017) « A gorgeous, snowbound record. You either listen to this or you make a big mistake » Norman Records « An extraodinary LP. Deeply Meditative » Mary Anne Hobbs – « A self-inflicted duel between light and dark forces » Self-Titled Mag « Stunning » Rob Booth / Electronic Explorations « WOW » Throwing Snow

Cain (Houndstooth compilation, 2018) « Cain by Otto Lindholm with its tortured voices and shards of cello, is like William Blake soundtracked by Arthur Russell » Stephen Worthy for MOJO « The set opens with Otto Lindholm’s Cain – all Ligeti / Xenakis style doom and dirge and cooling solar flares – and it sets a twilight tone that gratifyingly never lifts » Neil Kulkarni / The Wire
