    Excerpts is a work of forgetful minimalism; it is powerfully repetitious--perhaps, in waves, completely random.

    While it brandishes a certain kind of insular brilliance, it's music more ripe for conversation or think pieces than headphones or the living room hi-fi.

    Ensemble crashes through the album's 11 tracks, skating along glorious orchestral discord dappled with everything-but-the-kitchen-sink electronics and ghostly voices in both French and English. [Feb 2011, p.71]
