    There’s densely polyrhythmic music of texture and tone, frequently pierced with fragments of melody and hymnal chords emerging like shafts of sunlight through the trees, rewarding listeners willing to concentrate with moments of cerebral rapture.

    The album’s periods of gestation and decomposition so outweigh its moment of flowering that a full listen is much more a chore than a pleasure.

    Playful and melodic, Clash suggests that you take this on a Norfolk country ramble ASAP.

    The rest of Wysing Forest rewards patient exploration, but nothing else quite matches Amphis for effect.

    This is a deeply trippy record. [Jul 2014, p.100]

    Wysing Forest has a time and a place but unfortunately falls short of the mark that was set by Abbott's previous memorable output and the work of his peers.
