"What an intro! Beatles meet Kratwerk. It's modern. I love it. I'm waiting for that bass to kick in. It's worth the wait. Creative songwriting, arrangement and production overall. 'Lookin' up at the sunlight ‑ Hurts my beady little eyes' ‑ Love them lyrics!" (Bottom Feeder, Babe!)

"Well, this is the best thing I've heard yet ... this is why you gotta love reviewing, for every 10 pieces of **** songs you hear, you get one gem like this. There is nothing I'd change about this song (Fish Out of Water). In fact, I'd go as far as saying it's one of the more original sounding pop tunes I've heard in a while, yet it still keeps basic guitar pop traditions"

"Welcome to the "5/5‑Club"!!! I love this 'Cosmic Stew you're cooking. There's deep lyrics, amazing vocals and harmonies, fantastic instrumental work, a super pop/psychedelic song structure, great arrangements, jungle‑like rythym....... and the MOTHER of all HOOKS!! Finally, it's as compact as the SINGLE that it should be (Can't Wake Up). More, please!"

"Wow! where to begin ‑ I love the lyrics ‑ a mix of beautifully colored melodic harmonies and sweet words of revolution. The instrumentation is wonderful..."

"Indy pop pro Ken Dixon returned for his latest CD in 2005. The thirteen track Phanta Morgana is infused with the great pop spirit of the early '70s and the entire CD spotlights top musicianship of Dixon and his musical cohort, guitarist Craig Bartock, who worked so well with Heart on their 2004 CD... As far as pop goes, there's a goldmine of catchy, memorable melodies and arrangements here including the title track and the sequel, "Phanta Morgana Revisited" as well as the pop classic "Fish Out Of Water" and the socially satirical "We're All Doomed." The guitar work and the studio sound of Phanta Morgana is a testament to the musical expertise of both Dixon and Bartock."
