    [His] most spellbinding LP to date.
  2. 80
    Humanely crafted, with a warmth unusual in the avant-garde. [Jun 2004, p.96]
  3. Fennesz makes Boards Of Canada sound like Daft Punk and My Bloody Valentine sound like Oasis.
  4. The most pressing problem is that Venice is rarely a challenging release.

    "Endless Summer," Christian Fennesz's last LP, is a classic. This one settles for being simply excellent--lush, lovingly textured, romantic music. Swoon-worthy. Expand
