    After two great albums, Choral sees the duo consolidating all the gains made into its first real classic, an album that ought to delight hardened-ambient fanatics and neophytes alike.

    What we're left with, speakers humming with aftermath, is the possibility of a real and significant realization: that between Hecker and Mountains, 2009 suggests a sea change--and I can't think of a more appropriately grand term--in which ambient music may just enter a post-Eno peak.
  3. Under The Radar
    80
    Choral is an impressionistic, mellifluous record that persistently beguiles. [Spring 2009, p.77]

    It's one of the best albums I've ever heard. It just puts you in an earthy state of mind. Why go outside?
