Terre II, 4 fully deserved PA stars and one of the best things I've listened to in 2015. Par octopus-4, ProgArchives
It feels especially genuine for refusing to buy into the empyrean fantasy of lyrical music. If, as Julien himself says, "With art, we can leave behind the mundanity of daily life, » then Terre II is an interplanetary jump worth taking with eyes and ears open.

A soundworld of mostly soft and pliant sounds that recalls the trippier aspects of Canterbury rock or King Crimson’s gentler side"(...)" Terre II works a slow and lasting magic that hovers long after the last track fades.
By Brian Morton Wire February 2016
All in all, this is a very pleasant, well-conceived, and carefully composed album that will please fans of melodic jazz and ambient music.

Original and exclusive interpretations. Similar to Louis Sclavis’s or multiinstrumentalist Michel Portal’s experiments. Bravo! Excellent work!.

A world well to himself between Magma and King Crimson, pretty powerful sound, very deep basses. I really liked it, I would’ve loved to be there live!

Julian Julien's “Strange” is one of the better instrumental albums to come to my attention over the past year.
John Sanders, Jazz Music Archives, USA
It easily holds your attention, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all lovers of progressive music.
Lee Henderson, ProgNaut.com, USA
There aren't particular signs of similar projects around so I highly recommend to everybody this "original" album especially to those who enjoy ethnic music and those ready for something fresh and new; it's not RIO, it's not symphonic, it's not fusion and it's not jazz-rock but it needed some promotion because it's cool!!! It's "Strange", did I say this already?!

I don't hesitate in suggesting it to who wants to explore this side of prog and I'm happy to rate it with 4 stars.» Octopus-4, collaborator Rio Avant Zeuhl Team.
« Nice, partly melodic but definitely personal Zeuhl-ish Jazz/Chamber music by a talented man. Warmly recommended.» Review by Psarros.
Julian Julien has successfully landed a spot on artists to follow closely from now on, and I sincerely hope to hear more greatness from him in the future.
