    Kronen Zeitung (p. 26): Plattenkritik zu „Abstract Truth - Beginnings“

    initials „CT“ (vermutlich Chris Thommark)

    Review of the CD “Beginnings” by Abstract Truth (PAO Records, Taufkirchen an der Pram, supported by the state of Upper Austria): music for quiet hours, in which Pepl shapes the two-part melody group and electronically steers his instrument from vibraphone to organ registers.

    In the two-part melody group, guitarist Harry Pepl is the defining creative force.

    Kürzel CT (vermutlich Chris Thommark)

    He controls his instrument electronically, from the vibraphone to the organ register.

    Salzburger Nachrichten: „Könnte Jazz sein“ (Neues von Österreichern)

    Wolfgang Gratzer

    CD column on Werner Pirchner, Harry Pepl and Wolfgang Mitterer. Gratzer recalls a Jeunesse evening by the Jazzzwio, which made it as far as the Montreux Jazz Festival, calls the album “Gegenwind” a collector’s item and reviews Pepl’s roughly 20-minute commissioned work “Anspannen, Überspannen, Abspannen” for STUDIO PERCUSSION graz (Extraplatte 242-2), underlaid with a tape Pepl recorded on MIDI guitar.

    Thus five sound pictures open up whose colourful motion exerts a considerable pull

    were back then attuned to each other in the most original improvising way. Their “Gegenwind” album now turns out to be a collector’s item.
