Reviews:
www.triphop.hu (18 09 2004): 'Singer Stella Bergsma and producer-performer Steven de Munnik produced twelve world-class tracks on their release 'Everything Nothing'. Steven managed to produce an album full of excellent soundscapes without any triviality - but what Stella did with her voice is almost unbelievable. From Beth Gibbons' mournful voice (in 'Nothing') to Martina Topley-Bird's clang (in 'Fracture'), she does everything. But without any comparison, she has a voice and style of her own, worth of the biggest names in triphop-music. If something comparable doesn't happen, we have _the_ newcomer of the year: ladies and gents, all hail Iuno with 'Everything Nothing'!'
www.mysteryandmisery.com (17 05 2004): 'Stella has a sexy sultry diva voice and Steven has an ear for textured electronica that resonates wonderfully with Stella's lyrics, which are influenced greatly by fear. If Iuno was a legal drug, I would take it.'
www.tripofagia.com: 'They don't simply write songs. They write poetry, with compass, with elements being used on their proper places. They don't over use anything, neither the instrumentation nor the vocals. They aim for an equilibrium. And that's complex; the final result is complexity. Is it bad? No, not in any way. That's the difference when you or me, most of the people, write a text and when a poet does it. They can say in one opus what we need a whole life to just try to describe. Iuno did it on Everything Nothing: they described beauty.
Can beauty be dispensable in one's life? No. This is an essential album.'
www.triphop.hu (01 06 2003): 'Their music is immediatly catching, their sound as good as the most famous bands and Stella's voice is a drug!'
