UK Reviews of Lounge Lizard
Music Tech - May 2006 - 9/10 - Recommended Award
"With improved modelling and increased flexibility in sound shaping, you can be assured that the EP-3's sound is nothing short of gorgeous. A clear winner. If theses are the sorts of sounds you're after, there's not excuse not to have the EP-3 as part of your virtual instrument arsenal."
- Joe Silva Sound On Sound (full review here) - March 2006
"With Lounge Lizard EP3, I predict that many musicians may well desire it more than the acoustic instruments it models-it just feels so good to play, you forget within a few seconds that you're not playing a real acoustic instrument, and there are hundreds of variations and refinements available that don't involve a technician manhandling 73 tines and pickups! Lounge Lizard EP3 is quite simply the new benchmark against which all electric piano sounds must be judged."
"If you like electric piano sounds and have a computer, you have to buy Lounge Lizard-it's as simple as that!"
- Martin Walker Computer Music - March 2006 - 9/10 - Performance Award
"If you're a lover of electric piano sounds, Lounge Lizard remains a must-have. In fact, we reckon it's still one of the finest VST's you can buy." Music Tech - January 2004 - 9/10 - Recommended Award
"Connoisseur of the real thing may also stop to ponder the advantages of using Lounge Lizard over their temperamental space-consuming instruments, particularly for practising at home."
- Joe Silva Future Music - November 2003 - Platinum Award
"The finest software electric piano emulation to date, simple as that. It even looks vintage too!"
- Chuck Piers Sound On Sound - October 2003
"Lounge Lizard was already more verstile than any piano emulation had any right to be (...)."
"If you don't already own it (Lounge Lizard), version 2 provides yet more reasons to give in to temptation..."
- Sam Inglis Future Music - November 2002
"At this price Lounge Lizard is difficult to fault and should be up there on the old shopping list representing one of the best buys out there. A soon-to-be-realised classic." Sound On Sound - October 2002
"Lounge Lizard is one of the most impressive virtual instruments I've seen to date (...) it's a uniquely adaptable piece of virtual kit. It also represents excellent value for the money."
- Sam Inglis MacUser - September 2002
"VERDICT: One of the most impressive, best-sounding virtual instruments we've come across."
- Paul Sellars Mac Format - September 2002
"Which ever way you look at it, the Lounge Lizard represents better value for money than either of its competitors. It's a funky little number that will soon find its way into many computer music studios."
- Cliff Douse Computer Music - Virtual Instrument Special 2002 - 4/5
"We found Lounge Lizard to be an inspiring, playable, flexible instrument that you can really work hard. As such-and at this price-It's an excellent buy." Computer Music - July 2002 - 8/10 - Value Award
"It's when you pump the Lounge Lizard hard and dirty the thing up that you get the best results (...). As well as coming up with filthy tones that retro funksters will love, we managed to create plenty of sounds that bore little or no audible resemblance to those that would be produced by a 'traditional' electric piano, so there's no denying that AAS have produced a versatile instrument. (Lounge Lizard) does offer something genuinely different at a very competitive price. It may have a slick name, but this bad boy can be funky as the devil."
