Jan 28, 2023A sonic utopia. This album is heaven. I cannot wait till they release Vol. 2!

May 7, 2019Though decades old and assembled by Spencer D. of Visible Cloaks, this experience feels more like a YouTube playlist created by a college student trying to study for a final than it does a real album. Which makes this successful in it's vision and purpose.

Mar 4, 2019This instrumental album is a great relaxant. Traditionally and culturally oriented.

The WireApr 3, 2019Like remembering the loading sound of a ZX Spectrum or the incidental music of Teletext, the feel of these tracks provokes an odd nostalgia for equipment, now superseded and obsolete. [Apr 2019, p.72]

Mar 13, 2019While some of the music drifts a little close to the milky reassurances of New Age music (‘Praying for Mother / Earth Part 1’ places seemingly random plinking notes over the top of rippling running water that challenges the listener to not run to the loo), other tracks, such as ‘Variation – III’ by Masashi Kitamura + Phonogenix, move gorgeous ambient chords around the sound of waves licking the shoreline, a peace punctured occasionally by a chū-daiko drum to wholly peaceful affect. Together, the twenty three tracks here promote a warmth that feels somewhere close to paradise.

Mar 8, 2019The collection is a warm, poignant, deeply immersive set that is sure to please fans of the genre but quite honestly belongs in every home. It's that beautiful.
