    Pound for pound, the songs of Pause are far more interesting and multi-layered than most of your general ambient music available on the shelves today.... A mesmerizing work.
  2. New Musical Express (NME)

    It is its author Kieran Hebden's best work to date and confirms the prolific young soundmeister as a major talent.

    Hebden has a rare ability to make his delicate instrumentals engaging and unpretentious.

    A must have Album for all Electronica lovers. Less jazzy and more eclectic than his previous releases but with the same stunning production.
