-
An ambient record that doesn't bore or get bogged down in its insistence on fading into the background.
-
Steingarten is a nearly perfect album.
-
Betke hasn’t merely licked his wounds and retreated into familiar territory, but fused some lessons learned from his own back catalog to create a shiny new beast, at once identifiable as his work and yet something tangibly different.
-
For what it is, it’s just about perfect.
-
UncutSteingarten combines clipped, Kompakt-style 4/4 funk with a massy dub sensibility reminiscent of Adrian Sherwood's Tackhead productions. [Apr 2007, p.114]
-
Pole’s technique still relies heavily on the minimal, but Steingarten is garnished with a sonic density lacking on his first three full-lengths.
-
Steingarten is a unique take on ambient/glitch inspired music however it’s lack of musical progression brings it down.
