^Marie Claire Huot -China's New Cultural Scene: A Handbook of Changes 2000- Page 178 "Luo Qi's voice, a cry from the gutter and the guts, is perhaps the most powerful rock voice in China. Unfortunately, she is ill-served by her mediocre band, Zhinanzhen (Compass), and recordings of rather poor quality."
