    Tracks that will keep you waiting forever for the drop still have a corporeal appeal. [Jul 2015, p.94]

    The joy is in the ambiguity and Braxton's exemplary manipulation of sound and space.

    At times it takes an effort to differentiate Hive1 from many other of the gentle experimental works involving modular synthesizers across the decades, despite its unique origins. But there are subtle--and again, intensive--surprises scattered throughout, both in sounds and forms. [May 2015, p.47]
