"Inventive contrapuntally - rich arrangements, this excellent experiment represents a perfect marriage of two seemingly disparate entities, resulting in an album of richly mellifluous sonority" All About Jazz ☆☆☆☆☆

"One of the most successful attempts I've heard at fully integrating a string quartet into a jazz ensemble....like a miniature Loose Tubes with strings. Jazz Journal ☆☆☆☆☆

"Original and at times deeply poignant, this is a big step forward by a group intent on walking down a road less traveled" Kevin LeGendre, Echo Magazine ☆☆☆☆

"Turbulent avant-riffage, lush, cinematic sophistication... an ambitious project, convincingly realised" JazzWise ☆☆☆☆

"The always stimulating Partikel meets this string section on equal terms. Eagles's tone on his various horns achieves an impressive blend of colours and dynamics. His compositions and arrangements, embracing sinuous, sinewy elegance, spiky funk and languid ballads, repay close attention. It's another intriguing step in the evolution of this talented outfit." BBC Music Magazine ☆☆☆☆

"A triumphant third album" MOJO ☆☆☆☆

"Definitely the best Partikel album to date... containing plenty of depth, sinewy improvising, and good ideas" Marlbank ☆☆☆☆

"In balancing Partikel's familiar free jazzy energy with a compositional coherence that draws the textures of the string players and the trio into striking and often unexpectedly seductive accords.... String Theory is an intriguing insight into the depths of their resources" John Fordham - The Guardian

"Exciting and thrilling" UK Vibe ☆☆☆☆

"Partikel, a dynamic London based trio led by saxophonist Duncan Eagles, are augmented by a string quartet on their stunning new album" Record Collector Magazine ☆☆☆☆
