„Debüt“ sounds like a dark journey into a morbid-fragil Cabaret, appealing like surreal dramatics.“  (Kym Gnuch, SONIC SEDUCER Music Magazine, Juni 2006)

“Alwa Glebe possesses the voice of an apparation. And on “Irrlichter” it passes through the deep grooves and minimalist arrangements to leave the listener feeble and desolate.” /.../ “A perfect portrait of desolation. ‘Irrlichter’ should be thought by listeners whose tastes veer towards Anna Domino, Marianne Faithful, Grace Jones or Nico.” (VIRUS Magazine / New York, USA)

“Dark are the passions that matter on „Irrlichter” but the cool-clear singing of the Chanteuse Alwa Glebe develops a pull of her very own style”. (VOGUE)

“A very poetical project, veiling plenty of philosophical ideas,/…/ Alwa Glebe's superb voice opens us the gate towards an intricate, dramatic Wave Experimental universe./…/Another dimension, a peculiar music, a realm of itself... distinctive!” (KOGAIONON Underground Magazine / Doru Atomei / Romania, 2006)

“Their is no hiding the deep seated sorrow of Alwa Glebe's voice, but on "Debüt" the familiarity of the musical elements, allows you to find a ghost inside of you. "Debüt" is a temporary respite from the noisy and disorganized world. It's transportational tool is Alwa Glebe's voice, which taints the listener because it is so uncommon and unforgettable.” (VIRUS Magazine, Michael Wozny, New York, 2006)

 „An ode to the night…“. (SONIC SEDUCER Musik Magazin)

“ Alwa Glebe is painting set to music, muscially as lyrically.” (AMBOSS Online Musik Magazin)

“Alwa Glebe has had a long and distinguished career before arriving at this album. She sings with a commanding presence in her native German. The music is sparse and eerie and her voice has a tangible sadness to it. “An der Bruecke stand” is curiously like a song by Grace Jones, all-feral poise and languid beats. “Komm mit mir” is a trance-like dream of a song. Glebe’s dark vamping is heard to its greatest effect.” (COLLECTED SOUNDS / Woman in Music / Minneapolis, USA)

“Nine songs affected by a very unsual melancholy voice. A voice that needs room to develop.” (MEDIENKONVERTER Online Musik Magazin)
