from the Rockerilla magazine and written by Enrico Ramunni
Nocturnal atmospheres from Northern Europe quiver inside the grooves of
an original debut opus, an identification card for a Utrecht based
quintet, promptly brought to our attention by the long-sighted September
Gurls. The night we are dealing with is, however, one of those, short
and never completely black, which are typical of the summer season above
a certain latitude, animated by the singing of the crickets, and perfect
to resume folk songs of a seducing chamber intimacy, marked by the sweet
timbres of wind instruments (Judith Simon's oboe, Christie Rosseel's
flutes, Jacob Goud's saxes), by the lyrics partly drawn from the
academic tradition, by the succesion of almost all of the full review alie

from the Crohinga Well magazine:
Psychedlic folk (rock) is really blooming in the 90's and it's very
encouraging to notice that in alot of different countries fresh
variations or even new species pop up like mushroom circles in the shade
of a wood. Nigt watch is one of Holland's more talented contemporary
folk ensembles who (privately) released their eponymous debut LP in
1998. September Gurls picked up this remarkable album, added one track
and reissued the already rare LP as a CD. A good initiative because
Night Watch is a very talented and versatile folk unit that harbours a
lot of experience in its 3 male/3 female ranks. These six musicians play
a beautiful and rich mix of different folk styles ranging from the
traditional British formula full review alie
