    It doesn’t aim to instantly satisfy unsuspecting listeners, dazzle newcomers, or alienate longtime fans; but what Unieqav does is craft a digital world sewn together by technology, biological information, science, and action. Engaged by the imprint of minimal techno beats and gliding melodies, the possibilities Unieqav promise are far from endless, but are indeed beautiful.

    The album channels Alva Noto's trademark sounds into jittery, funky music that loses none of the complexity of his more challenging work.

    These 12 pieces of crackling, thrumming electro, dub, techno and other less-definable rhythms are held together by a certain warmth, a love of the crisp sounds that make them up, and by adherence to the groove. [Apr 2018, p.92]

    This is digital music with great big jammy thumbprints smeared all over it. The little glitches that patter through any one of UNIEQAV’s 12 instrumentals present the human at the heart of the machine.

    The album’s pervasive sameness hinders sustained interest.

    On the third Uni long-player--a series designed, unlike his starker glitch compositions, to work in dance clubs--the 52-yar-old's signature techno pulses and liminal keyboard clouds enmesh with comparative generosity. [May 2018, p.93]
