Jun 4, 2017Con casi ningún exabrupto, "async" mantiene una atmósfera muy evocativa capaz de hacerlo bello, con su buena dosis de sonidos experimentales para mantener interesante un viaje musical de esta magnitud.

Jan 9, 2018Amazing compositions by the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto. Some tracks drag on for my liking, but the unique sounds providing sensory excitement make this album a great listen

The WireAug 8, 2017async is an exceptionally beautiful record, in the way that maths is beautiful, quite free of rhetoric or ‘effects’. Its coherence of tonality and timbre gives it the feel of an imaginary soundtrack and yet each track has its own internal logic and direction which means that it never sounds like a grab-bag of musical supervisor’s cues but like a proper album of songs. [Jun 2017, p.70]

MagnetJun 28, 2017These existential sonic sketches are minimalist in nature but come together as an electroacoustic whole far greater than its composite parts. [No. 143, p.61]

May 25, 2017Understandably ruminative in nature, it’s a renewed sense of creative vigour which provides the driving force on a piece of work which stands among the composer’s best.
