"Guitarist Dewa Budjana's 'Zentuary' stands as his best to date. It's not just the addition of exceptional, top-quality players such as Tony Levin, Gary Husband, Jack DeJohnette, Tim Garland and Guthrie Govan, that makes this double album so memorable. Budjana himself delivers the kind of lithe and melodically incisive playing that ensures this double album is a noodle-free zone that delivers elegant compositions in a sumptuous, high-value production. Powerful and rather special"
– Sid Smith, Postcards From The Yellow Room, music critic

"With 'Zentuary', Indonesian guitar maestro Dewa Budjana takes the art and sounds of progressive world jazz fusion to the clouds and beyond. With the likes of Tony Levin, Gary Husband, Jack DeJohnette, and other guest stars backing him up, Budjana and his new release could very well shoot to the mainstream in the States." – Raymond Benson, New York Times best-selling novelist, film & music critic

"Offering a cross-cultural blend of songs which excite, engage, and enthrall listeners (...) synergistic mixture of brilliant instrumental progressive rock, jazz-rock fusion and world music."
– Wesley Derbyshire, Mediaversal

"If Dewa Budjana's Zentuary had a filmic counterpart, it would definitely be slotted into the action genre. Something like The Fast and the Furious would serve as an appropriate alternate title, given how much the Indonesian guitar maestro's fifth and arguably most ambitious solo album amounts to an extended study in perpetual motion." - Ron Schepper, textura magazine (Canada)
