    With KOCH, Gamble has found a canvas that's just the right size to fit everything on, to hold the whole beautiful thing up at once.

    The lucid dreamlike hold of Koch carries unparalleled allure, elevating Lee Gamble's already adept soundscapes to quicksand plateaus.

    Rich and disorientating, KOCH accesses a different pace of life--or rather several, bewilderingly, all at once.

    An unsettling soundtrack of misanthropic club dystopias. [Nov 2014, p.99]

    At times, KOCH is so microscopic it feels like there’s barely any place left for this music to go. But Gamble keeps finding new ways to take it apart and reassemble it, to the point where something so closed off, so concerned with the smallest of gestures, feels thrillingly open.

    While the Actress tracks were, by most accounts, club tracks exposed to organic erosion and presented in sequence as an endurance test, KOCH is more bizarre and less aggressive.

    Koch feels like a merger of the two [Diversions 1994-1996 and Dutch Tvashar Plumes], backsliding into the dance timbres of yesteryear, and their hissy, ever moody dissolutions become predictable. [Oct 2014, p.63]
