Wusik Sound Magazine - May, 2011
"Seriously, modest prices aside, his instruments are well worth the investment and provide an enormous amount of value as well as just plain fun." ... Metallurgy: "this device has so many uses you will be exploring it for a very long time." ... "M-theory will have you experimenting and playing into the wee hours until your boss calls you up and asks if you’re still interested in being employed." ... Rez 2: "This little rocket will have you smiling all day long after playing it. Seriously, if you wake up in a bad mood, flip this bad boy on and just jam. Bad mood over.".... "Is Chris from another time or another place? Well, according to the Alien Autopsy video on the Web, yes, yes he is."
Computer Music Magazine - Special Edition #44 (2010)
Rez & Texture featured in their essential freeware line-up. Also included is a brief interview with me. ... "All in all, Texture is a characterful yet simple synth that will give your productions edge and menace." ... "Rez not only looks great but is simple enough to program and great sounds with plenty of movement and character. ... Certainly there is enough freeware out there to offer you both traditional sounds and modern sheen, but you won't often find a synth that offers you both with such ease of use."

"Ugo Audio's String Theory is quite simply one of the best free applications out there. Whereas some concentrate on modelling real instruments or synths, String Theory does all that and more. Its strength lies in the fact that it can seemingly turn its hand to pretty much anything, real or imaginary." ... "String Theory is what free software should be all about."

Issue 5 - Metallurgy reviewed
"I can’t think of a more versatile and useful vst effect for just $20! I have a feeling that if this type of effect was released by one of the big corporate computer music companies we’d be paying $149 or more for Metallurgy and still appreciating its value."
Computer Music Magazine - April, 06 - issue 99
Metallurgy reviewed and received a perfect 10 out of 10 score!
"As we said at the outset, we think that Metallurgy is an absolute must-have plug-in for any PC user with a creative production bone in their body, especially when you consider how cheap it is." ... "Verdict: If you're a PC user, pull out your credit card and buy Metallurgy now."
