Sep 13, 2011A masterpiece that deserves several listening with a decent sound system before giving an opinion. Definitely not made to listen with those "q-tips" like headphones... nor than through a compressed audio file (like MP3). This listening experiment is also completed with the live 3D experience... a must!

UncutJul 28, 2011Tobin's virtuoso collaging of alien sounds is bracingly vivid in small doses, but a little chilly and disorienting over the long haul. [Jun 2011, p.96]

Jun 9, 2011He has the ideas: ISAM's pieces keep wandering into unmarked industrial zones, evoking broken things and blight. But this is heavy, foreboding music; Tobin hasn't yet learned how to balance his robust sound-art impulses with footholds for his listeners.

May 27, 2011ISAM's clusters aren't as advanced as Tobin might have you think, and only represent a monumental leap forward if you compare them to his trio of classic albums, all of which were recorded more than 10 years ago.
