'I am constantly amazed that, after so many years pursuing a diverse set of genres, styles and histories in music, that I can be flabbergasted by a new album, and unable to clearly articulate the music within. Such is the case with the latest Orquesta del Tiempo Perdido album.'
Phil Zampino/SQUIDCO

'Orquesta del Tiempo Perdido has become a mainstay in my headphones over the last year, and with two new albums in the space of a few months – Sepk and Rimpianti – there’s no sign of that letting up. Jeroen Kimman pulls countless threads through a whirling musical wormhole, putting together sonic and rhythmic combinations that are endlessly engaging.' Brad Rose/FOXY DIGITALIS

'Net als zijn twee voorgangers is 'Sepk' een meeslepende opeenvolging van ontregelende ritmes, mooie bitterzoete melodieën en vrolijke gekte, met weemoed als stevig bindmiddel. Een album dat geen moment verveelt.'
Rick Binnendijk/GONZO/CIRCUS

'It is the musical contrast between a certain lightness and exemplary pessimism that makes the orchestra's music very interesting.
The group's sound sounds soft as rubber, but Orquesta del Tiempo Perdido remains impassive, as if everything were normal and interprets this liquid musical vision with precision.'
Gonçalo Falcão/JAZZ.PT

'Sempre originalissimo, riconoscibile al instante. Un progetto che continua a meritare maggiori attenzioni.' Federico Savini/BLOW UP

'Words couldn’t do justice to what you will hear on this release. Analyzing all these beautiful pieces would be a challenge for a Ph.D. student.' Mark Daelmans-Sikkel/VITAL WEEKLY

'again a beautful potpourri of nostalgia, slip-ups, failed finishes, and limp patterns' Ken Vos/JAZZISM

'This is music in search of its own essence, constantly turning itself inside out.' Eyal Hareuveni/SALT PEANUTS

'Accompagnato da dieci straordinari musicisti di Amsterdam, Kimman presenta dodici brani compatti e coerenti tra loro in un ambiente innovativo che sembra al tempo stesso estremamente familiare.
Sepk è un LP sincero e riuscito, che cattura l’attenzione dei palati più fini ed esigenti senza mai risultare cerebrale o dispersivo.'
Samuele Conficoni/MUSICMAP.IT

'On est happé par ces titres au bord de la rupture, se relevant à chaque fois comme par miracle, gorgées d’humour et de poésie dadaïste. Un must.'
Roland Torres/SILENCEANDSOUND

'..we get highly exact non-exactness in the musical movements and highly styled styleless musical gestures.
The music runs after itself, shadowless. But nonetheless we (not completely) understand the music losing itself, running with grace outside the track.' Henning Bolte/EUROPEJAZZMEDIACHART

'Le travail à la guitare de Kimman reste toutfois l'approche dominante d'un musique insaisisable, touche-à-tout, la moindre mélodie accrocheuse, identifiable se diluant rapidement dans divers effets, croisant les rythmes plus rock e le jazz, traçant ainsi une musique psychédélique, souvent ludique, délirante.'
Pierre Durr/REVUE&CORRIGEË

'wenn jemand danach tanzen möchte, geht das nur mit Zwischenschritt.
Mitunter erinnern die Stücke an Arbeiten von Bill Frisell.'
Jele/FREISTIL

'Nel mare magnum dei dodici brani proposti, si respirano come si sarà capito climi e temperature variegate, peraltro con un equilibrio fra le varie parti poste a decantare assieme assolutamente lucido e conseguente (e non senza una punta—abbondante—di arguta ironia, non di rado di smagliante umore noir). C'è un minimo di dispersività, a volte una lieve genericità globale, elementi del resto quasi fisiologici, visto il contesto (diciamo pure il contenitore), ma l'ascolto rimane sempre stimolante, logico, diremmo opportuno.'
Alberto Bazzuro/ALLABOUTJAZZ

'the versatile Kimman approach that defies all musical laws'
Ben Taffijn/NIEUWENOTEN
