…intriguing, different from everything else…

…I won't reveal a big secret if I write that I consider Nikol Bóková to be one of the most interesting voices of the young European generation…

Marek Romański for Audio-Video Jazz Reviews

★★★★★

…The album affects the senses like an artifact that glides by, radiates, and leaves behind an indelible and mysterious trace…

…”Expedition" by Nikol Bóková belongs to the key albums of the past year…

Milan Bátor, Ostravan

★★★★★

With the overall jazz-rock energy, I think it would work well on large festival stages; several times while listening,

I also recalled the band Van der Graaf Generator from the 70s.
