Q MagazineSo intimate and sad you can almost see the candles flickering. [Mar 2004, p.110]
-
Towards the end, Herren's love of the glitch tentatively tries to reassert itself, but poetry and seductiveness manage to pacify it for the duration.
-
His most personal recording yet.
-
FilterAn album awash in evocative warmth. [#9, p.111]
-
MojoA better advert for time-share life it's hard to imagine. [Feb 2004, p.102]
-
UncutAs good a record, in fact, as anything this gifted polymath has ever released. [Feb 2004, p.82]
-
This may be Herren's least accessible project to date.
-
Side projects rarely eclipse their protagonists main works, but Apropat is one radical departure that finds the players perfectly aligning themselves to each other so convincingly that its hard to imagine Herren looking back again.
-
Apropa't has a tendency at first to gently wash over you, striking no particular chord. But as you pay closer attention to the music, the melodic wash of it all becomes one of its addictive qualities.
-
Apropats biggest flaw could be the use of Eva Puyuelo Muns vocals. Perhaps Im accustomed primarily to Herrens music as instrumental, but the use of Eva feels painfully forced at times.
-
Here their ambient electro is enhanced with a melange of influences that include soul, jazz and - a real winner this - Brazilian psychedelia.
-
The WireThere is no fake authenticity in this musical exploration, and Herren's musical palette is impressively wide ranging. [#241, p.63]
-
Apropa't pulses with sensual rhythms, lush harmonies, and ethereal forms that weave together to create a truly amazing aural experience.
-
While it may be the most unfamiliar work of Herrens discography, its still one of the years first great albums.
