Ben Ratliff for The New York Times:

“It’s been eight years since an album of his new work, and about half of “Detours,” his new album on Unseen Worlds, is prime stuff, including two major solo-piano pieces: ’13 Detours’and ‘George Fox Searches.’ He does not stint on beautiful things — major arpeggios, soul-chord progressions, lines that flow and breathe — and his keyboard touch is rounded and gorgeous, a feeling you remember.”

Adam Strohm for Dusted:

“All week, ‘George Fox Searches‘ has had me humming a Baptist hymn, replete with Tyranny’s improvisatory embellishments. As recently as 2010 his former bandmate Iggy Pop was still stage diving into his early 60s, and the same time, “Blue” Gene Tyranny was taking his own leaps into the unknown, albeit with far less chance of bodily harm. Fifty years after a San Antonio teen skipped out on Julliard, a veteran continues to thumb his nose at convention, still seeking, still striving.”

Other Music (NYC):

“New release from polymath composer “Blue” Gene Tyranny, last heard round these parts a couple years ago with Unseen World’s reissue of his seminal 1977 avant-pop album, Out of the Blue.  Detours, also issued by Unseen Worlds, showcases his lovely work for solo piano, with four mostly lyrical, vaguely minimalistic pieces that occasionally belie his sly sense of humor.”

Massiomo Ricci for Touching Extremes:

“Detours might very well be one of his best oeuvres”
