Nov 5, 2018Awe-inspiring and unforgettable.

Nov 5, 2018Thresholder is a triumph of meticulously detailed composition and, at the same time, a masterpiece that seems to evolve, albeit in an unnaturally sepulchral soundworld of fragmentation, from the simplest of sources into a life-affirming wholeness.
-
The WireNov 15, 2018For music built around the shrouding and decay of its composer’s bodily presence, Thresholder feels curiously non-corporeal. In large part that’s attributable to the purity of Craig’s voice. ... But elsewhere--when melting between the tremulous organ tones of “And Therefore The Moonlight” or forming grainy cirrus wisps in “Sfumato”--Craig sounds as though he’s already shed his physical shell and ascended into the cosmos. [Dec 2018, p.46]

MojoNov 19, 2018Thresholder is the sound of celestial awe striking, albeit sometimes opaquely. [Jan 2019, p.89]
-
Nov 5, 2018Craig’s music is not concerned merely with his gadgets or the way he wants his voice to be. Thresholder is, instead, a summary of the way his voice might be heard or ignored or interpreted in a universe where activity and entropy only increase without bound.

Nov 5, 2018The release feels like what could've been, whereas Centres actually was, but it's still a beautiful, mystifying recording.
