THE SOUND PROJECTOR (UK)- This is electronic music as it should be. It uses the full potential of technology to create something bright, shiny and new, but is suffused with a warmth and a sense of discovery that keeps the human element very much to the fore... The album is alive with propulsive electro thythms, shiny synh melodies and swirling psychedelic irruptions: the music of the future, if ever i heard it .RICHARD REES JONES
THE WIRE (UK) - ... Fightclubbing is one creeping study in paranoia that doesn't know its strength. Rosa Arruti opens dark electronic crawlspaces in which psychological dramas unfold. Not surprisingly Arruti recently collaborated on a production project with Kim Cascone, sound designer for David Lynch. KEN HOLLINGS
IGLOOmag (California) - In what could only be described as a patently perfect offbeat adventure comes Nad Spiro in a series of minimal surprise. This record reminds me of the first time I heard Noto on the long gone Plate Lunch label... This is one of those rare recordings that brings together all of my personal interests from dalliances in everyone from Cabaret Voltaire to Schlammpeitziger. Fightclubbing pours generous portions of pure electronics all over our most vital sensitivities to distortion and its residue... Besides establishing some new ground, the disc digs into their dusty old record collection with subversive references to Throbbing Gristle, Iggy Pop (who is sampled) and perhaps even Wire. It may still be the record of the year to me. TJ NORRIS
TOUCHING EXTREMES (IT)- Rosa Arruti is the author of this intelligent electronic manufact under the pseudonym of Nad Spiro. Armed of her guitar and voice, Arruti modifies spaces and ambiences in a very personal way, distorting any meaning and helping the birth of atmospheres and lucid nightmares ... Nad Spiro keeps the human element very present anyway, getting glimpses of frail flashing and hypnotic, shadowy miniatures with a defined character. Here's a woman we all have to keep our eyes on for the future of unconventional music! MASSIMO RICCI
DE:BUG (Berlin) ... Her laidback treatment of feelings might get labeled as abstract songs (Liedgut) that are unique in its cranky manner full of ideas. PAUL PAULUN
GIAG (Riga) - Nad Spiro's (a.k.a. Rosa Arruti) tracks are mostly drifting hallucinatory washes of sounds, with some nice intoned "Poetry". It's the washes of cloudlike drones that dominate the proceedings, sometimes hovering threateningly, sometimes floating dreamily. This album is stimulating future electronic music exquisitely played and realised. A winner. MERJE LõHMUS (a.k.a. Mad Sister) .
D-SIDE (FR) - La musique de Nad Spiro...es un piège délicieux où l'on se fait un plaisir de tomber, un collage audacieux d'électronique pointue, de guitares décavées, de voix robotiques susurrantes et de sons trouvés, l'ensemble donnant alternativement l'impression de circuler dans un labyrinthe surpeuplé et d'errer dans une Cité Obscure. JEAN FRANÇOIS MICARD
RUMORE (IT)- Onirico e sensuale è invece il suono di Nad Spiro, nella seconda prova Fightclubbing sconnessi beat impastati a criptici frammenti vocali, echi di chitara e cut-up di abrasioni digitali. Un cangiante radio-play ricco di femmineo intuito e mistero, seducenti canzoni dark e incubi techno-glam riflessi in specchi deformanti a cristalli liquidi. Coinvolgente.
CLUB DEVIL (DE) Langer Rede kurzer Sinn: Nad Spiro´s "Fightclubbing" gehört definitiv zu dieser "Perlen"-Kategorie.
RUTA 66 (E) - Un trabajo que ensimisma al oyente predispuesto con pasivas pero subyugantes emisiones de animación suspendida. "Fightclubbing" transcurre escurridizo, fantasmal, indagando en el hemisferio más sombrío del espacio interior con guitarras tratadas de subconsciente psicodélico, electro-rumores microtonales y una voz de gélido erotismo.
