about

"...It is rawer, more aggressive and yet is just as full of beauty and tranquil moments. ‘First Steps into Inner Space’ is a fascinating fusion of traditional Malaysian folk music and more contemporary, global, electronic sounds; this combination of aesthetics produces a seductively rhythmic body of work..."
- Ryan Hughes (independent artist and curator based in Birmingham, UK.)

" the journey of self-exploration and the mapping out of inner space that Sabran’s heady spirit quest is positioned towards. Spiritual seekers, record collectors, and space travelers alike may all find common ground upon which to plant a flag with this one."
- Reed Burnam

"All the familiar references are there, from Led Zepplin to the Beatles and a host of lesser known Prog Rock albums. SGE ultimately make those references their own, with a strain of gambus, a distant sitar and an electro beat sharp enough to tickle anyone’s fancy. Tracks with spiritual or quasi-mystical titles like What You Seek Is Seeking You fairly explode into your eardrums with a solid backbeat and phased vocals. While Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed recalls the Beatles psychedelic hit Strawberry fields Forever, SGE’s track bursts out of a jazz (expresso?) bongo and into gambus and fairly rocks its little socks off with a spaced-out Middle Eastern theme, some cute vocals and a welcome return to feedback - so beloved of the 1960s and 70s"
- Martin Bradley
