Mwe3.com review of Charge:
Guitarist Samuli Kristian and drummer Ivan Horder are on a roll this year. These creative Finns form the basis of the instrumental rock fusion band called Bogdo Ula. The all instrumental Bogdo Ula broke down musical walls in 2009 with their CD Aerograd and they return in late 2010 with the equally fascinating sound of Charge. If anything the CD takes the Bogdo Ula sound further out there, creating hypnotic waves of cosmic, celestial guitar sounds in the spirit of David Gilmour, Syd Barrett, Terje Rypdal and Steve Hillage, who proffered a similar guitar sound in Gong during the mid ‘70s. With a keen fascinating for 21st century recording techniques, Finland’s Bogdo Ula bring the sound of cosmic instrumental rock up to date with often startling, cosmic results. Charge is a haunting roller coaster trip into the land of intergalactic instrumental rock guitar.

Mwe3.com review of Aerograd album:
What the Finns can’t sing about lyrically, they transform instrumentally via their usually vivid musical imagination and that concept stays true to form with a superbly recorded 2010 CD from Bogdo Ula — their second album entitled Aerograd. This kind of free form space rock sort of took form back in the ‘70s with several concept bands from Sweden as well as early ‘70s works from Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal and RTF guitar hero Bill Connors. Those comparisons say a lot of the the strangely titled Bogdo Ula — a group crafted by guitarist Samuli Kristian and drummer Ivan Horder. There’s even a trace of Pink Floyd style improv in Samuli’s guitar work (both Syd and Gilmour) which is also quite Hendrix-y in places too. Jimi would have loved this strange and beautiful electrifying guitar blend.
