"This album is an astounding piece of work that will find the listener unraveling more elements within each track with each listen while still being accessible from the first go. Iwould recommend this to all fans of music as Ibelieve it is agreat testament to creativity, beauty and skillful execution. It is not perfect as some tracks are abit weaker than others, but overall not far from it. Allow Floex to invite you into his world of Zorya and be bedazzled." SPUTNIK MUSIC
Here, the ambient parts mix with elements of jazz and sounds of the clarinet. One track takes you on an expedition through your subconscious, only to immediately teleport you from it to aclub with aflashing stroboscope. Floex has never slowed down since then, he has become aprominent author of videogame soundtracks and has managed to also join forces with asymphonic orchestra. However, Zorya remains his unsurpassed piece that is the subject of praise even today. HEADLINER
Musically fearless, far reaching beyond the boundaries of ambient. It combines elements of electronic music and jazz in an entirely hypnotising way, thanks to which Zorya also gets better and more interesting with each listen. Instead of having to persuade myself to listen to the next song, Iwished that this record would never end. This is atrue comeback of the year. This is how arecord of the year should sound. MUSICSERVER
You can feel the freshness and energy on Zorya. Ialready rank this record among those that will stay in my playlist for along time. And it wont disappear from my head just like that either. Whats more, Floex has created arelatively clear and original style for himself. There arent many such authors in Czechia and thats why Floex with Zorya are for me like ashining little star on the sky filled with average, grey and quickly disappearing wannabes. Iwill look forward to his next work with joy. TRIPHOP
