    This is one of those rare albums that makes you wonder how you ever got by without it.

    From Here We Go Sublime may not be an evolution for Willner, but it's a singular distillation of his talents into one album. Mixing gauzy shoegaze, slippery ambient loops, and two-cheeks-on-the-floor bass drum bounce, the Field offers an idyllic work of startling novelty, and perhaps 'techno''s most widely appreciable offering in years.
  3. No Ripcord

    It's fair to say if you don't find anything worthwhile somewhere in this record, you probably just don't enjoy electronic music.
  4. Pitchfork

    If Willner doesn't hit at least some of your pleasure centers, well, forget your ears-- your nerve endings might actually be dead. Even three months in, it's a safe bet that From Here We Go Sublime will wind up 2007's most luxuriant record.
  5. Dusted Magazine
    90
    From Here We Go Sublime is fantastic all around, and it's all the more effective for its restraint.
  6. Hot Press
    90
    It focuses on the epic qualities of Ride and MBV, combined with Wilner's cosmic pop chops and his predilection for shuffly techno grooves.
  7. The Boston Phoenix
    88
    It feels endless - in a good way.
  8. Almost Cool
    85
    If you like minimal electronic music at all, you must seek it out.
  9. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    It may sound simple but it's devastatingly effective.
  10. Uncut

    Mesmerising stuff. [Jun 2007, p.99]

  11. Tiny Mix Tapes
    80
    Wilner's talent lies in revealing the abundance of music locked inside even the smallest fractions of extant recordings.
  12. PopMatters
    80
    An electronic album that is utterly original and not easily forgotten.
  13. cokemachineglow
    74
    This is an album you could easily hate -- especially if you like things like change and development.
  14. Delusions of Adequacy
    70
    Track for track, From Here We Go Sublime is mired in some of the simplest beats in modern electronic music.

    It's the perfect mix of heavy bass-lines and short melodic synthesizer phrases. The ambiance each track gives off is slightly different, yet the whole album keeps you in the same mood or trance if you prefer. I eagerly await their second album.… Full Review »

    If you're in to ambient, this will be one of the most incredible albums you've heard in years. If you're not in to ambient, well... just read the low scores below.… Full Review »

    This is literally the worst album I've ever heard, It is ridiculously repetitive it sounds like your computer froze while playing music and its playing the same thing over and over again. It might sound alright at times but I can';t see how any talent in this music. Maybe I just don't understand it but in my opinion it should defiantly not be #1 let alone the top 10… Full Review »
