    The new sound stands up straight as the original iteration, but is backed by the depth of his previous work.

    Amid all this diversity, Abaporu is a remarkably steady work, with Boratto's consistent sound palette and knack for melody running strong throughout.

    It’s a record that, despite all of its differing hues, manages to come across as a unified mosaic of sound.

    At 13 tracks and close to 70 minutes in length, Abaporu just contains too many (albeit many terrific) ideas and stylistic flourishes to properly cohere as a singular work.

    Taken as a whole, Abaporu isn't a bad LP, and for fans of classic Kompakt records by the Modernist, SCSI-9, or even The Field, the album might be exactly what they're looking for. More adventurous listeners, however, are advised to look elsewhere.

    Like much of Boratto's previous work, it's all superbly crafted but not much of it leaves a lasting impression.
