 " ... cutitout is sort of a holistic electro-organic mix, marked by push and pull techniques and tumultuous overtures. this trio resides within the proverbial cutting-edge echelon of modern jazz" (glenn astarita in allaboutjazz, may '06)

" ... one of the finest discs i've heard so far this year, in any genre." (marc medwin in cadence, november '06)

" ... the group interaction and blend of textures makes cutitout an enthralling listen." (mike shanley in jazz times, october '06)

" ... it's a subtle and entrancing hour of music, the overall effect of which suggests some hibernating beast waking from a long winter and beginning to discover its movements again ... this is a very fine disc." (jason bivins in signal to noise, fall '06)

" das gurren und knurren der bassklarinette und dahlgren's elektronisch noch forcierte dunkle arcoschraffuren, die an die elektrifizierten celli von schütz und lonberg-holm erinnern, sondieren die tiefen registerlagen in ihren rauhen und dröhnenden facetten, mischen umbra mit ultramarin. rosen inszeniert dazu jeweils das passende charivari, mit scheppernden glocken und kettengerassel, gezielten pings, quirligem geklapper oder dumpfen paukenschlägen, durchweg abseits jazziger erwartungen. die beiden 'cutitout'-balladen 'epilog' und 'u.s.o. ballad' bohren nach dem ureikern in dieser erzählform. ullmann und dahlgren druchpflügen konsequent erdig, maulwürfig und untergründig, das klangliche tiefparterre." (rigobert dittmann in bad alchemy, juli 2006)

" ... one of the best recordings ullmann has released." (bruce carnevale in coda magazine, 11/'06)
