  1. Though it’s on par with its predecessor in terms of repetition, Yesterday And Today is also on that level in terms of quality--which should mean no disappointments.
  2. Under The Radar

    These iridescent sound experiments tell a thrilling story poles apart. [Summer 2009, p.72]
  3. Nothing much changes from here on out, but it’s this form, absorbance and consistency that always prevails in Willner’s music.
  4. Processed it may still be, but the emotions this time round feel more human, and, as a result, make a deeper impact.
  5. Like an electronic Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, Axel Willner’s music as the Field uses rhythm, repetition and unexpected melodies to make a captivating sound that can be too much for some listeners. But to fans of top-flight techno craftsmanship, it’s nothing less than spellbinding.
  6. After a few listens, the charm of many of Willner's soundscapes fades: They provide a certain Vicodin-buzz pleasure--and then they don't.

    The sophomore album for electronic artists, especially experimental electronic artists, has been a waterloo. the field comes back stronger, The sophomore album for electronic artists, especially experimental electronic artists, has been a waterloo. the field comes back stronger, with no sell out, faithful to his "roots" and goes a step further musically. simply put, better than the first album. if you like electronic tracks more than 10 min long - please step in - you will feel right at home.
