Sep 11, 2015This was written to be listened to, and to be lived. Don’t dream this away.
-
UncutSep 9, 2015For such a relaxing piece, though, there's also a melancholy tot he minor keys and descending harmony lines, which elevates this epic above bland mood music. Still, listening in one sitting is a feat. [Oct 2015, p.81]
-
Sep 9, 2015Musically incredible and conceptually spot on.
-
Sep 9, 2015This is a landmark project in that respect, much of which succeeds in being thoroughly bewitching.
-
Sep 9, 2015While Sleep can be regarded as eight plus hours of ambient drift, it also grows into a piece of considerable emotional weight.
-
Sep 21, 2015At its best, Sleep feels like compositionally rigorous new age music. It’s a place in which you can settle for a while, with or without a pillow, and emerge only when you are ready to rejoin the restive world.
-
Sep 9, 2015Despite its length, it's not pushing any boundaries: it's smooth and sweet, with nothing to give you nightmares, but as a piece of high-class chillout music, it works very well.
