"Well, well, well: Everything (at least almost everything) on this album is filled with uniqueness, mystery, and magic. Any true Prog-lover should quickly understand that "Yi" is not only the great album, but also one of those 'eternal' albums that remain listenable (to say the least) for years to come, if not forever."
--Progressor review of YI

"Naked Elf play totally improvised music, and the CD has been produced in a similar manner to those of Can - the band play for extended periods, and edit the results into the completed pieces presented here. This could very easily prove to be a recipe for disaster, and it is testament to the skill of these three musicians that they pull this off without a hitch to produce some excellent music. Many bands could benefit from being able to write music as good as this, but these guys can make it up as they go."
