PBS Guitar Show Fret Net ".......Vick’s new release explodes with uncanny experimental guitar playing." Abstract Logix "Pick up a copy of his CD if your ready to have your mind blown.......music in favor of the esoteric." Guitar9 "....Michael's music is ground breaking, new, at times bizarre, but always underpinned by an extensive musical knowledge and background." Unfretted "The future of guitar is missing something-namely frets!" MAV in Guitar Player mag 2007 “.....Vick’s guitar is blazing / true musical pioneers.” Fuse Mag "A band can have a lousy guitar player and still sell a million albums, but given the nature of music, you can't go anywhere with a bad bassist." MAV in Charleston City Paper "Musicien atypique s'il en est, Michael, avec sa tête d'éternel adolescent, nous a servi, avec son collègue Jeff à la batterie, une musique vraiment loufoque, un brin de Zappa génétiquement modifié, un fond bluesy, le tout dans un bain d'humour évident et de virtuosité à l'apparence légère et facile." La Guitare “Love it / taking cues equally from free jazz & "The NYC Fretless Guitar Festival.......Organized by unfretted veteran Michael "Atonal" Vick, the show presented renowned players such as New York City's Elliot Sharp and Seattle's Tom Baker......"
