"{The music of R-Three is} uncompromising in its socio-political themes and pushes a positive and distinct approach, highlights are 'Secrets' and 'Something To Believe In'. A lot of thought and work has gone into the recording, it moves from ambience to weird electronics to more standard rock formats, sometimes reminding me of loop guru or ... maybe Peter Gabriel meets Enigma. ... this lovingly crafted mixed bag is full of surprises and worth checking out" - Unknown Promotions

"SF based R-Three belongs to the most promising projects within electronic pop and so called post rock. ... ´Perceptual Distortion´{is} a brave debut album with pleasant sound images and critical lyrics about mass media and politics. ... {Rhett Redelings'} vocals could remind a bit of David Sylvian and also an early Peter Gabriel - plus at times an echo from {John} Lennon, both concerning lyrics and atmosphere. ...The music is thrilling, and each part {has} its own flavor. The electronic parts are mostly beautifully built upon each other so that nothing tends to get too thick. A highlight is certainly ´Secrets´, a widespread mini suite consisting of dreamy destinations... All this is creative music, with some great surprises to it." - Gert Ove Fridlund, Hallandspoten, Sweden

"...Similar in style to the David Sylvian and Robert Fripp collaboration of the early nineties... ‘Perceptual Distortion’ changes styles and moods with alarming regularity, shuffling uneasily in its seating, continually asking questions and provoking reactions. In fact, it would be fair to say I’ve rarely heard quite such a bravely eclectic debut album before, it’s almost bewildering. Thankfully the compositions are well composed by an array of contributors who have an accomplished control of their studio instruments...Most importantly, there is a huge talent at work beneath the minefield of musical diversity..."

"I imagine this is what Robert Fripp would sound like on a large dose of Valium (this is a compliment) - mellow, but jerky, and constantly progressing - from part to eerie part. Wonderful production work, especially considering the complexity of the arrangement. Excellent piece of work." - Scott Griffin, Artist Launch
