Jan 22, 2021When this album first came out, I was confused abut all the hype, but now that I've given it time to settle, Narkopop is truly a masterpiece. This is music to get lost in and music that envelops you like you're being hypnotized.

May 16, 2017Although the heavy existence of a 4/4 beat seemed to go against the free flow of this ambient album, I actually liked the dichotomy it presented, allowing for interesting experimentation of combining differing layers and obvious detectable movement to create a rich, pleasant ambiance. My Score: 135/180 (Solid) = 7.5/10

May 11, 2017I liked how the album was calm and smooth but the rest meehhh and i think that Gas has lost some experience i mean 17 years for his last album before ''narkopop'' , kinda give a bad picture to people who dont get the ''Ambient'' genre

The WireAug 8, 2017Narkopop has a symphonic majesty, a sense of form and forward movement that no prior Gas record quite reached. Voigt's forest no longer merely murmurs; it positively exults. [May 2017, p.46]

May 25, 2017The meditatively plodding drums are off-putting if focused on too deliberately, but there is little else to fault here for those who like to zone out into infinity, with the 17-minute long closer being particularly peachy.

May 1, 2017Whatever the differences on Narkopop, the album is remarkably true to the project's past: this is music that takes inspiration from childhood memories, bygone eras and the natural world. The results can feel like another dimension, but the album is also intensely personal.
