Jackie Payne (Jackie Payne Steve Edmonson Band / Johnny Otis Band) (15.05.2008):

“It’s nice to see that there is a magazine like the SOUL TRAIN that still covers the music that we love. Without an audience this music will just go away. Considering that it took a century to develop Blues, R&B, and Soul to the point where they are now, it would certainly be a great loss.”
 

Peo (Per-Olof Dahl) (14.02.2008):

“I think your site looks good and it's great that you explore good artists and music so keep it up!”

Bettina Pohle (03.05.2014):

"Wie schön,  dass es tatsächlich Menschen gibt , die mit musikalischer Hörerfahrung und Leidenschaft schreiben, weil sie WISSEN, worüber sie schreiben - das macht einfach Spaß! Du (Michael Arens, www.soultrainonline.de) machst einfach eine satt gute Arbeit mit SOUL TRAIN!! Es gibt online und offline im Musikbusiness viel zu viele wannabes, wenn man dann auf jemanden stößt, der echt Ahnung hat und soviel Herzblut investiert, ist das wie ein Geschenk!"

Matt Pokora (04.04.2008):

Rakim (Eric B. & Rakim) (10.05.2010):

“Word up. It’s big what you’re doing with the SOUL TRAIN, ‘cause you’re keeping that era of music alive, where to this day Soul Music impacted the world and the music industry, you know what I mean. So we need to keep that alive, so that younger artists can go back to that fountain of truth, and see what it is, so that when they go in the studio and do what they do – they have the inside!”

Lisa Stansfield (20.11.2013):

"It's beautiful that the SOUL TRAIN is out there promoting Soul Music, because there should be more Soul Music inside us, and not outside us!"

Ova Steel (06.03.2008):

“SOUL TRAIN – Thumbs Up!”

Cassandra Steen (01.08.2011):

“Alleine der Titel SOUL TRAIN ist sehr, sehr schön. Erinnert mich natürlich an die Sendung aus den Staaten. Ich find es schön, dass es so etwas überhaupt in Deutschland gibt, dass Soul so in Deutschland vertreten wird!“

Stereo MCs (Rob Birch) (31.08.2011):

“The SOUL TRAIN is a part of the Stereo MCs! We’ve been doing music for over 20 years. It’s great to see that there are still magazines out there who are promoting not only upfront modern club music but also are looking to investigate music which has a different sort of depth, music that is leftfield and music which is experimenting as well as popular music and, of course, soul music.”

Claudio Stevenson (Banda Black Rio) (08.03.2008):
“Salut Michael, thanks for your fantastic support in good music! Best from all of us from the "original" Black Rio Brazil.”

Sam Sullivan (19.03.2009):

“If you like Soul you’ll love the SOUL TRAIN!”

Jimi Tenor (13.11.2009):

“It’s good that Germany has a magazine like the SOUL TRAIN that concentrates on the more soulful music. In Germany electronic music is big. But maybe that is not the ultimate music-genre to listen to. The SOUL TRAIN helps to change that. Soul has a very mental influence on music. It’s good to have that option. It’s good to have the SOUL TRAIN!”

Titiyo (Blacknuss Allstars/etc.) (09.11.2009):

“Ja, es ist gut, dass es den SOUL TRAIN gibt. Es gibt einen großen Fokus auf elektronische Musik und auf das Independent-Genre. Und natürlich gibt es in der Black Music soviel mehr als Jay-Z und Beyoncé und all das kommerzielles Zeug. Und gerade dafür ist es gut, den SOUL TRAIN zu haben. Damit jemand das alles im Auge behalten kann; dass es soviel mehr zu Black Music im weitesten Sine zu sagen gibt… Well done, SOUL TRAIN!”

Tok Tok Tok (10.11.2008):

“Wir finden es sehr schade, dass die Soul-Magazine der letzten Jahre jeweils nicht lange durchgehalten haben, besonders, da Soul-Musik ein Riesenpublikum hat. Umso großartiger, dass es mit www.soultrainonline.de wieder ein Podium gibt, welches die Lücke schließt. Vielleicht ist Soul-Musik auch einfach unserer Seele so nah, dass es schwerer fällt, sie intellektuell von außen zu betrachten, als sie einfach in sich auf zu nehmen?! Übrigens ist die SOUL TRAIN-Website (www.soultrainonline.de) toll gestaltet, und wir haben uns gefreut, dort beim Stöbern auf alte und neue Acts zu treffen! SOUL TRAIN - KEEP UP THE GROOVE!!”

Tuomo (29.06.2009):

Kenny Wellington (Beggar & Co./Light Of The World/etc.) (26.02.2008):

“We (Beggar & Co./Light Of The World, Anmerkung der Redaktion) are always glad to see mags like the SOUL TRAIN. Not only do you keep the readers informed but you also keep the great tradition going. Blues & Soul, Echoes, SOUL TRAIN and all of those great mags are an important part of the musical framework and very important to both artists and readers.”

Doug Wimbish (Living Colour/Tack>>Head/Head>>Fake/etc.) (09.04.2008):

“It’s very simple man. It’s just very important that Germany has a place for Soul Music. Because Soul Music lies in everybody. Then you have to have a frequency to tap in on. And that is the SOUL TRAIN. So check that shit out, ‘cause that’s where the frequency lies in Germany!”

Yosef “Critical“ Wolde-Mariam (Madcon) (15.05.2008):

“The site rocks. Check it out…!”
