'Oiseaux-Tempête is plumbing the depths of their vast archives to polish jewels of jazzy noise and well-paced post-rock.'  EXCLAIM - CA // "Transfigurer le chaos en beauté absolue. Unworks & Rarities donne dans l'ascensionnel sanglant, la montée métaphysique, le renversement de toutes les valeurs de la pop érigé en sentiment. Fatalement, c'est du lourd, et c'est très impressionnant." THE DRONE - FR // 'Excellent band' THE WIRE - UK // ​'Beautifully atmospheric'  KALTBLUT MAGAZINE - DE // 'This series of “unworks and rarities” is much better than most bands’ main products. If the Parisians hadn’t labelled it as such, we might never have known.'  A CLOSER LISTEN - USA //'La angustia que te consume en las noches suena así, como el nuevo disco de Oiseaux-Tempête.'  NOISEY - MX // 'Un viaggio poetico, peculiare coacervo di post-rock, kraut jazzato, noise e ambient che ha reso il gruppo transalpino una delle realtà europee piú interessanti degli ultimi anni.' THE NEW NOISE - IT // "Unworks & Rarities nous saisit dans l’élan, dans sa beauté nette. Implacable. Magistral."  INDIEPOPROCK - FR // 'Oiseaux-Tempete läutet seine Sammlung unveröffentlichter Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 2012 bis 2015 ein mit einem wunderbar verträumt schwebenden und Orgel-getragenen Ambient- Soundscape samt choralen Elementen und einer unterschwellig sakralen Atmosphäre.' HHV - DE // 'Fransa’dan bir grup. İsimleri Oiseaux Tempête (Fırtına Kuşu). Oralardan buralara müzikleri şiire dokunuyor. Sonra uçuyor uçuyor ve kulağımıza ilişiyorlar. Belki de Nazım’ın kalemi onlara kurşun gibi ağır geldiğinden oluyor bunlar'. ISTANBULALT - TUR // 'Twórczość Oiseaux-Tempête należy kojarzyć z instrumentalnym post-rockiem, dark-folkiem (okolice Woven Hand), muzyką eksperymentalną/filmową, krautrockiem, gitarowymi dronami, elementami ambientu czy noise’u.'  NOWAMUSIKA - PL
