Included on ACHIM's full length album is also a radio edit of his “Funky Friend” single. This singer/songwriter from Luxembourg might be miles away from the States but he shares a lot of the same excellent sounds as American songwriters. ACHIM's mixes are well-polished and the guitars are very captivating. Some songs are really straight up pop-rock pieces while others are on the world-beat slant with some R&B thrown in for good measure. Interesting stuff and a good listen. - J-Sin (SMOTHER.NET)
ACHIMSONG is an outstanding blend of world and rock music that deserves a couple of listens at least. Looking beyond the obvious - since Achim is the only musician on those tracks, it behooves me to say something about his talent and I'll limit that to just one word - awesome! - Eclectic Connection station

"...Achim blew my perception of electronic music completely out of the water, and as a result, I have a newly formed respect for artists of the genre! His music is not cold and unfeeling – it is alive with emotion and depth of character! His music has a ton of variety, creativity and soul, and I’m very happy that I had the chance to listen to it!...".
"...He is funky, but he is also a virtuoso, able to create neck-breaking tunes that lead into miniature symphonies!...".
"...I now see a portrait of a man that is passionate about his art form – a man that pores over his work, but is driven by forces both intellectual and spiritual to create works of art. I see a man that has a boundless depth of imagination, and a knack for communicating those depths in the sounds that he creates. Musical genius probably sounds trite, so I will simply say that I consider Achim to be a man of great talent who enjoys music, and who enjoys expressing his thoughts and feelings through the medium of song. Just listen for a little bit, and you’ll hear what he has to say loud and clear!...".
