MagnetMay 19, 2014It's his best work to date. [No. 109, p.61]
-
Apr 29, 2014It’s an album that wears its weirdness on its sleeve, but it’s the best kind of weird, and a joy to listen to.
-
May 29, 2014A free-form lyrical approach leads Vangaalen into phantasmically beautiful byways, with both the music and the words floating up and away.

Apr 24, 2014The album’s lacking that one standout moment to make it a truly transformative experience. Still, the scope and ambition are to be applauded, and it’s a treat to take a voyage around his mind and beyond.
