    The results, restrained, immersive and quite beautiful. [Jun 2014, p.71]

    In Music for Insomniacs Berry has created a synth fantasia of dreamy soundscapes for the wakeful, but with a greater dynamism and more grandiose scale and momentum than most ambient music.

    Mixing up the correct dosage proved tricky, but, to Berry’s credit, Music For Insomniacs reclines on a perfect plateau: chewier than your workaday (workanight?) ambient dribble, but not so rich with incident that you’ll sit bolt upright.

    Aside from the vocoder-enhanced cosmic disco that features midway, this is an introverted offering--though much too good to fall asleep to.

    For all its dense silliness, Music For Insomniacs really is quite a genuinely discomfiting experience.
