  1. Q Magazine

    An epic, in no way ironic record whose tart electronic tones belie its emotional warmth and musicality. [Nov 2012, p.90]

  2. Beats Per Minute (formerly One Thirty BPM)

    75
    No matter who else we see in his work, this record stands on its own in terms of how it plays for the listener.
  3. Under The Radar
    Oct 23, 2012
    75
    Elemental Themes borrows sounds and ideas from the sci-fi soundtracks of yesteryear but gives them an organic heart.
  4. Uncut
    Oct 26, 2012
    60
    "Pluze" and "Branches" resemble Air in their languid electro-revisioning of jazz-funk and prog, while the title track pulls back sparkling synths for a noble and histrionic sax break. [Dec 2012, p.68]
