Nov 13, 2012It is also a daunting record--when is an hour and a quarter of ambience not?--but a thoroughly rewarding one.

UncutNov 19, 2012Lux works on a pragmatic and egalitarian level as more or less the ideal ambient record. [Dec 2012, p.66]
-
Nov 20, 2012Best to sit back and bask in the confident warmth of a job well done.
