"A fascinating release not merely for Eno's participation but for the hints of music that would become mainstream in the future. Indeed, opening cut "Vamos Companeros" has an intense guitar line from Rother that in its nervous, choppy way suggests everything from Wire to Bauhaus, not to mention Eno's own noted production clients, U2. Having already created two excellent albums, the core Harmonia trio was easily placed to whip up a third, with Eno the wild-card factor who turned out to be a perfect addition. While contributing some lyrics and singing at a time when he was steering away firmly from both in his own solo work, most of the time Eno lets the band speak for itself musically, most notably adding snaky, quietly threatening basslines. Compositions range from the lengthy to just fragments. The explorations in ambient sound and mysterious and murky textures make the end results well worth hearing." (Ned Raggett, Allmusic)
"Collaboration of three innovative musicians: Dieter Moebius (Kluster, Cluster, Harmonia), Mani Neumeier (Guru Guru) and Jürgen Engler (Male, Die Krupps), proving that improvisation still is the magic word in jazz and live electronica. Transforming spontaneous ideas in real time, listening and reacting immediately to one another. "Other Places" was recorded and mixed in 4 days. Remarkable, considering how different their musical backgrounds were. The unusual pulse of the music is a combination of synthetic rhythm patterns and Mani Neumeier's dexterous drumming. This interaction alone is enough to spark an almost magical, ritual atmosphere. But there is more: Moebius and Engler develop a fascinating electronic world on this rhythmic film, cacophonous on the one hand, harmonious on the other. Sonic spectra which swathe the listener in shimmering clouds and coruscating crystals. Their aim was to create an atmosphere. And what an atmosphere! Dark, but not murky, outlandish without being weird." (Bureau B)
