    There is much to savour in Caminiti's enthusiastic and emotional attempts to expand on his own musical lexicon.
  2. 80
    Caminiti's style is uniquely desolate and delicious.

    Tracks like "Fading Dawn" hew closer to Barn Owl's sound, with the instrumentation a little less cloaked, but meditative forays like "Absteigend" are the biggest successes here. [No. 90, p.54]

    Caminiti seems fully aware of the perils and pitfalls of the nu-new age, thwarting any such comparisons by rousing his near-ambient flows with radiant beams of six-string sustain.

    Many musicians watermark every second of their albums with their signature, but not Caminiti, and that's what makes his album surprisingly individual.

    There are a few too many tracks here that don't quite achieve lift-off. [Oct 2012, p.74]

    This Dreamless Sleep, is often beautiful, but short on such surprises, and it becomes a bit of a snooze as a result.
