    A beautifully seamless ambient work full of lullabies and dreamscapes?

    The most memorable tracks on Pieces in a Modern Style feel like high-brow Puff Daddy songs...
  3. New Musical Express (NME)

    But if attempting to dress ancient monuments in radical, avant-garde clothing was always going to be a hit-and-miss project, he's still succeeded for the most part in making a richly ambient, evocative record from apparently staid and stale old material.
  4. Billboard
    20
    The Grammy-garnering producer certainly shows good taste in his selection (favoring 20th-century pieces) and obviously knows his way around a mixing board, but his make-overs are ultimately bloodless, even banal.
