    Copia is the sound of Cooper surpassing himself, combining his patented minimalist drones with beautifully rendered piano.
  2. All Music Guide
    90
    A magnificent set, awash in textures, atmospheres, moods, and emotion.
  3. No Ripcord

    Great art must provoke or inspire you, and I'm sorry to all the folks out there "awash" in Eluvium's dreamy "soundscapes" of pure "emotion" and "beauty", but this record does neither.

    Gorgeous and stunning album. Definitely one of my favorite albums of 2007. And yeah, if you don't like "background music" or whatever, why listen and review it?… Expand

    I am not a big fan of music being used in the background or as a soundtrack to "float somewhere." Still, I was intrigued enough to give this album a close listen and the only place I was transported was to the pre-sermon Sunday mornings at the church I went to in my childhood that featured an accomplished organist. I can see the skill necessary to produce this music, but it doesn't move me.....at all.… Expand
