“Sevåg is one of the really big guys within fusion and new age. This is soft, beautiful, melodic and spiritual; it is balsam for soul and mind."

“From the very first moments the listener can hear that Sevåg’s study of music from different parts of the world has had a major influence on the music that is presented here. Caravan is a very beautiful record. Some parts of it almost make me sad, because they generate such realistic feelings of melancholia, loss and impermanence. This record is an absolute pleasure. Special attention should also be given to Bendik Hofseth, who plays the sax on several of the tracks.”

“Øystein Sevåg is back where he has almost always been – in my ears. With a brew of sometimes amazing beauty, inspired by New Age, jazz, classical, and God knows what, he once again leads us into the essence of beauty.
This is music that is full of space: space to reflect on what we are listening to and space to go on our own journeys. Øystein Sevåg’s music often has a touch of the religious about it. It is, without exception, extremely beautiful and appealing. There is every reason to be pleased that Øystein Sevåg has returned from his self-imposed exile…
People who liked Sevåg before will definitely like him again now.”

“Øystein Sevåg is eminently capable of writing extremely lovely crossover music.”

“…Another high point is the almost religious “Seen from Above”, with Elin Synnøve Bråthen’s vocals and Paolo Vinaccia’s percussion gliding gracefully in the background. Here the listener is given a chance to soar…”The Code” gathers themes from the other tracks and synthesises them into a final coda. Sevåg and the other musicians never end up producing musical kitsch.”
