Mythologies reviews:

"Beautiful and timeless...Music that breaks your heart." (Peek-a-Boo Magazine, Belgium)

"Multifaceted and very emotional...bewitching...the album is very sophisticated and is simply a pleasure to hear." (Gezeitenstrom Musik Magazine, Germany)

"Michaels warm, very melodious and deep voice exudes a draft of a special kind and creates goosebumps." (Independent Sounds, Germany)

"Listening to Michael Plater's music, the names that come to mind are Nick Cave, Nikki Sudden (in his 'solo works'), Lou Reed... Intimate folk-blues ballads, with an underground taste...a songwriter with talent...Heartfelt music from a sensitive soul, surely. Very good work." (Sudden Art Music Magazine, Italy)

"Fantastic and melancholic songs, sung with his strong and expressive voice." (At Sea Compilations, Germany)

"Mythologies is vocal-driven, Plater’s deep voice laying down a trail into the forest, the guitars and occasional harmonica and piano are the dark unknown around us...Michael Plater should be out there touring the world and releasing a revelatory new disc every year…we’re lucky to have him,” (Robert Brokenmouth, I-94-Bar, Sydney)
