“... a blend of eletronica and ancient Arabian music – some ten years before Khaled got known in Brazil”
Roni Filgueiras, Revista de Domingo, JORNAL DO BRASIL, 2000

“Look Carefully gathers the breakbeat of drum´n´bass and ethereal voices in several languages, Easterner-flavored samples and even some light samba-grooves. Attention to Touch Me, a tripping tune assembled from disjointed samples. A good album”
Jaime Biaggio, O Dia, 1998

“One of the best Live P.A.´s in Brazil”
Luciano Vianna, London Burning, 2001

“It would be hard to draw any comparisons between Johann´s work and predecessors´. (...) Look Carefully may give good harvest - it´s just his first album.”
Virginia Guilhon, International Magazine, 1998

“A good work, yet recommended strictly to EBM lovers”
Rock Press, Zemos & Dines, 1996

“(Look Carefully) Technically a great album, with persuasive atmospheres for each of the tracks. (…) Heyss´ sin is the self-reference overdose in several tracks, repeating sounds and pieces of music over and over, and his best moments come when he focuses his energies instead of dispersing them: the great cover for Ne Me Laisse Pas L´Aimer (an original Brigitte Bardot single) and the scary Incubus et Sucubus are great examples of how efficient he would be if he attempted to be more conclusive”
Alexandre Matias, Diário do Povo, 1998

“… it could have turned into an unpleasant musical recipe. Still, the demo produced by Johann sounds interesting”
Antonio Carlos Miguel, O Globo, 1992

“(In The Blue Sea) Heyss manages to imprint his personal mark on the project, especially when it comes to the vocals. There´s also a bit of industrial in songs like Lunáticos and Quarto cheio de espelhos, although it's hard to stamp a specific label to the album, which isn´t bad. The highlight is I feel the walls turning into water”
Luck Veloso, Clube Culturall, 2003

“May be a new kind of dance music: think music”
Leonardo Rivera, International Magazine, 1996

“His electronic music takes us to Eastern ways in a fascinating trip” Denis Kandle, Tranzine, 2001

“The disjointed nature of music is simply too overpowering”
Sonic Boom, 1998

“Johann Heyss is a one-man-band, and in his second álbum he did everything himself, with the ´little help´ of a PC. These are songs with lyrics and everything (which is unusual in terms of electronica), in English and Portuguese, and the mood is rather ethereal, psychedelic and far-out. The album (The Blue Sea) consolidates the work of this musician, well-known in the Brazilian” Dynamite, 2004

“Johann Heyss sung as crazy over electronic programmings and delivered such a heavy and underground cover of Madonna´s Erotica as the material girl would never think possible” Alexandre Santos, O Globo, 1999
