May 11, 2012One of 'dance'-in-2012's very best albums.
-
May 9, 2012Lone doesn't reinvent himself on Galaxy Garden like he did with Emerald Fantasy Tracks, but the jump from one record to the next is made even more revelatory by the English producer's refinement and assuredness.
-
May 8, 2012The maker and breaker of neon daisy chains, 'Galaxy Garden' is a fantasia that's as lush as a chain of soap shops.
-
May 10, 2012Lone has delivered a Nineties attack that even Neil Buchanan would be proud of.
-
May 29, 2012For listeners that like their electronic music with a pulse (both literally and figuratively), this release will be a rewarding experience.
-
May 9, 2012Galaxy Garden is ambitious, which is to be lauded, and Cutler also has a reassuringly realistic outlook when saying that he is still "chipping away at a big idea".
-
May 21, 2012It's the smart weaves in and out of expectation--the jolts, the swerves--that make it an instant classic.
-
May 8, 2012Galaxy Garden is a compelling exploration of Matt Culter's experiences of dance culture over two decades and its nods to the past, coupled with Lone's infinitely fresh and modern twist, make this one of the premier dance records of 2012 so far.

May 9, 2012[Galaxy Garden is] a wonder, his most complete statement yet, both a refinement and an expansion of the genre-of-one he's been perfecting over the last few years.
-
Q MagazineJun 20, 2012Cutler's surgically meticulous programming skills and ear for mesmeric melodies.... elevate this follow up to 2010's Emerald Fantasy Tracks above simple ['90's techno] homage. [Jun 2012, p.106]
-
May 8, 2012Lone hasn't fully reinvented the narrative thread he started with "Pineapple Crush," but he's enriched it with a deeper exploration of his music's other referents, finding new dimensions to a sound that was beginning to feel awfully one-dimensional.
-
May 9, 2012A refreshing yet sweltering collection of acid rave and breakbeat conundrums, all held in check by Lone's perfectionist qualities, but despite the upheaval Lone's latest LP fires on all cylinders only when he chooses to hold onto that which has served him well in the past.
-
UncutMay 11, 2012He drifts boringly into pure pastiche on "Crystal Caverns 1991," but what keeps the rest fresh is the pace. [Jun 2012, p.77]
-
May 8, 2012Galaxy Garden is a fine effort, an album that tweaks Lone's formula just enough to pass as a step forward.
