    Foreign Body is stunningly beautiful, crafted with tremendous care and talent.
  2. 80
    Foreign Body crawls under the skin and stubbornly lodges itself there.

    In a world that is newly full of "content" at every turn, it can be refreshing to find an uncompromising record that exists so honestly on its own.
  4. 70
    All in all, Foreign Body is a very rewarding and promising collaboration for fans of the more emotive side of droning ambient music.

    The best moments here are almost indistinguishable from Grouper's best work.

    Foreign Body evokes alienation from a bottomless chasm of introspection. [Mar 2012, p.57]

    Foreign Body has moments of generous lucidity. Yet it struggles to find a foothold amid a flood of ideas, as if each performer were vaguely unsure about her role.
