Q MagazineOct 27, 2015Clearly le maestro hasn't lost his touch. [Dec 2015, p.114]

Oct 14, 2015On bygone albums he has displayed his own level of assertiveness; this is strictly a diffuser of pent-up situations, perfectly balanced between the background and forefront of your get together.

Oct 21, 2015St Germain conjures up rich and atmospheric landscapes equal to Navarre's earlier work. They're different from where we last left him, but they still seem to find him right at home.

Oct 14, 2015As with Tourist, it’s possible to feel these combinations are a little too smooth; it’s also possible to feel uneasy about a white European appropriating black musical styles.
