Bucolic reveries toughen into grimy urban soundscapes, there are classical references and the band's performance has a gritty matter-of-factness....Improvisation remains at the heart of any jazz performance, and both Leak and Allsopp are strong soloists who grasp complex themes with a firm hand. Leak solos with long lines that move from near-abstraction to rootsy repeats and then fade tantalisingly into the lower register."}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=|title=Taking Off|last=Spicer|first=Daniel|date=January 2, 2011|work=Jazzwise|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|issue=149|pages=18–19|quote="Aquarium is a mature and often sumptuous statement of intent"}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/jwcg|title=Aquarium Review|last=Le Gendre|first=Kevin|date=September 9, 2011 |work=BBC Music Magazine|access-date=August 5, 2017 |archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|quote="The emphasis is wholly on a carefully handled tension in the rhythm section with drums and bass locked in a fraught, plaintive drone, the delicacy of which is emphasized by Blackmore's almost tabla-like snare work and the discreet throb of Gourlay's bass, tantaslizing with two or three note stabs. Leak plays economically, brushing upper register chords with a Satie-like finesse to imbue the whole atmosphere with a brooding grace that is then heightened by Allsopp's stringently wrought overtones and terse but melodic coda"}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/68-2011/12027-jazz-breaking-news-aquarium-launch-their-debut-album-at-the-vortex|title=Jazz breaking news: Aquarium Launch Their Debut Album At The Vortex|last=Graham|first=Stephen|date=2011-08-25|work=Jazzwise Magazine|access-date=2011-01-16|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|quote="Leak fingertipping the keys in an elegant fashion that complemented Allsopp's Phrygian modal developmental sections nonetheless delivered, his runs involving satin textures underpinned by Gourlay's round woody sound."}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Spicer|first1=Daniel|title=BBC Music Magazine: Aquarium - 'Places' Review|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/whvh/|accessdate=2017-04-18}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=|title=Aquarium ****|last=Ingham|first=Chris|date=January 10, 2011|work=MOJO|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|publisher=Bauer Media|issue=215|page=96|quote="Multi-faceted and smart as a pin, this is poetic chamber jazz of a very high order"}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Middlesex University academic and research staff |url=http://www.mdx.ac.uk/about-us/our-people/staff-directory/profile/leak-sam|accessdate=August 5, 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Cambridge University Centre for Music and Science |url=http://cms.mus.cam.ac.uk/directory/sam-leak|accessdate=August 5, 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Sam Leak Website |url=http://www.samleak.com/bio }} External links
