    Ad Infinitum isn’t a palette cleanser or a holdover to the next conventional Telekinesis album--it’s a deeply affecting piece of work at a visceral level, suggesting that Lerner is an artist with crashing ambitions who’s willing to risk alienating his audience.

    Lerner's easy and reliable delivery is the glue that keeps everything together, and while there's little doubt that Ad Infinitum was conceived and created during a time of artistic upheaval, it retains all of the warmth and humanity that's made his prior outings shine.

    While not as immediate a confection as past releases Ad Infinitum is Telekinesis' Golden Record. [No. 124, p.61]

    While not entirely experimental, Ad Infinitum explores darker and more mysterious territory than Telekinesis has in the past, a fitting direction for this more mechanical journey.

    This is thoughtful music for thoughtful listeners, and it is all the more rewarding for it.

    An adept stylistic reboot. [Nov 2015, p.83]

    The songs he summons from the synths offer proof that there were more songs left in him, but he's still digging in the same mine. Ad Infinitum might be the sound of an artist challenging himself, but it's not the sound of an artist challenging his listeners.
